System doesn't connect on Windows 98

Hello!
I'm using the dbexpsda.dll driver for MS SQL Server 2000 and I'm getting the following error message when I'm trying to connect to the database in a Windows 98 system.

Data Server Error: MS SQL not found

I know that this driver requires the sqloledb.dll to work, but I don't know how to install it. I copied the sqloledb.dll driver from a Windows XP machine, where the system runs without problem, but it didn't work too.

So, what do I have to do to make the my system runs on Windows 98 with the dbexpsda.dll?

Thank you.

- Version of Microsoft SQL Server: 2000

DbxSda requires OLE DB installed on workstation.

Note: In current versions of Microsoft Windows, as Windows 2000, OLE DB is already included as standard package. But it's highly recommended to download the latest version (newer than 2.6) of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) at http://www.microsoft.com/data.

I downloaded the components and it's working now. Thank you.
