In the past this has been caused by a bare bone/nlited install of windows. Only known fix as of now is to reinstall windows.

Hmm, I don't really see myself doing that "just" for GameEx. Is there not even an Idea of what might be missing or outdated (some database access-component for example), so I can (re-)install just that?

If a core component is removed from the Windows Install by Nlite, you wont be able to reinstall it without instaling windows that has it included.

The only database components you can download from MS is MDAC. I suspect something core is missing from your install though.

You can try reinstalling .net 2.0 and try installing MDAC. Otherwise, your out of luck im afraid.

EDIT: If you can traslate the error for me I might have a better idea.

Error: Die SELECT-Anweisung schlie�t ein reserviertes Wort oder einen Argumentnamen ein, das/der falsch, mit falscher Zeichensetzung oder überhaupt nicht eingegeben wurde.

Also try the latest version of GameEx. 8.19 is somewhat old now.
