LOL thanks for all the help so far. everyone here is so awesome.

after i tried loading mdac twice with the same errors installing 3 dll. it said mdac loade but when clicking on to run game ex it still shows the same error that mdac is missing. the reason i am using win me is that it was free and i am trying to put this together for our church youth room and we don't have much of a budget. should i give up on this and wait for a different pc to be given to us. this was our old church office pc . thanks for all the help.
