Two possibilities.

Possibility #1:

Looking at the Microsoft knowledge base, it appears that the executable uses a database targeted for Vista, as opposed to XP.

That's because - and I'm guessing here - the programmers who made the app were idiots, and used bound controls (which I stopped doing about a decade ago). It requires the developer of the software to recomplie the app for 32-bit operation.

Possibility #2:

You need MDAC32 v2.8 (Microsoft Data Access Components) on your PC to get data connectivity. I kinda doubt this because most low-end developers these days are using Microsoft SQL Server Express, and installing it with the app.

My guess is that it is "Possibility #1".

I'm thinking "screwed".

You can try the link I gave you for possibility #2. I'm not 100% sure it'll work.

I doubt that'll it'll harm your system any.
