I, at random times get a Windows error message. It says it could not load resourse OLEDB32A.DLL.

I use Windows ME. I get this at varying intervals. I usually have to click OK 10 or more times before it quits coming back.

Point that may linksomehow: Whenever I try to open Windows Media Player I immediately get the same error message along with others saying WMP caused faults etc. AT this point it will not quit coming back up on screen after pressing ok until I close the half opened WMP.

Please help. I have looked for this file but it is nowhere on my harddrive. It says it is suppose to be in the directory of c:\program files\common files\system\ole db\ but it is not there nor anywhere else on my hardrive.

Your help andexpediency will be greatly appreciated.

Dale ,sounds like media player files are corrupted just uninstall it and download the latest version and reinstall.If you did a find files/folders and didn't find it that would be my guess with the info provided

This happens, (at least with the Windows Media Player error), if Windows Me and Windows 2000 share the same program files folder.
The error has to do with the MDAC(Microsoft Data Access Components).
The easiest way of correcting this is to download the lastest version of MDAC from:

http://www.microsoft.com/data

Please note: The MDAC has to be version 2.6 or higher!

I just found out that other factors can cause this problem as well but the answer is the same: MDAC 2.6+
