run-time error 429 on WinNT

Help....

I am not having the best of days...

I installed a new monitor on my machine which caused the video driver to
reload, which caused the OS to crash, which resulted in re-installing
the OS numerous times which eventually resulted in losing all
applications including pgAdmin.

I currently have Windows NT 4.0 sp6 on a Compaq Deskpro.  I have tried
installing pgAdmin 1.2.0 and 1.1.76 with the same result:

Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object

I have followed suggestions in the recent postings:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgadmin-support/2001-11/msg00008.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgadmin-support/2002-01/msg00023.php

and in the Microsoft offering:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q185126

as best as I could but with no success.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Troy

Just a hunch, but what is the file version and size of riched32.dll on
your system? And for that matter, do you have copies in different
locations?

That looks OK. Can you try (re)installing MDAC in case that's got in a
mess (www.microsoft.com/data) - 2.6 should definitely be OK on NT4,
dunno about 2.7...

Regards, Dave.

Many thanks, Dave.
Things now work and I know a lot more about MDAC.
FYI, I installed MDAC 2.6sp1.

Thanks again,
