In case you have not, install my MyODBC drivers then we'll go from there
That fixes 99% of all issues.

The drivers from your website is what I downloaded.

Here is my db.ini file, is there something wrong in it?

host=localhost
user=root
password=bloody
database=ax_classic
everquest_folder=c:\Everquest
quest_folder=c:\EQEmu\quests

//everquest_folder this is for music during runtime. Leaving this to a dummy folder or Not adding this will not load music
//for example - everquest_folder=null

If you get the registration error about a.ocx , then this means the grid control didn't register correctly. What OS are you running and what tool is this. Try to register is manually going to start/run/cmd, set the correct path to the resources folder then type in regsvr32 a.ocx

if it worked, you should get a message indicating so.

There are other ocx's to register as well, but first give this a go.

I also made this test connection program. If it works then the problem is/was with the a.ocx. Give this a go and report back

Ok, I tried that and am now getting the error message:

"The module "a.ocx" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80004005. For more information about this problem, search online using the error code as a search term".

I tried running a search with the error code and got a bunch of stuff that I dont understand (Alot of this is an alien language to me. lol).

Im running Windows Vista, and I get the error messages on any of your programs that im trying to use. Also, your connection tester: MYSQL connection SUCCESS.

See there's your problem - Vista. It's built it features prevent automatic registration.

>> Start - Programs - Accessories - Right click command prompt and run as administrator then register from the command prompt.

This was pulled from a few websites and seems pretty common.
When you have this figured out, please document the fix and send it to me so I can post it on my site.

BTW Here are the other files you need to register
regsvr32 DXAnimatedGIF.ocx
regsvr32 a.ocx
regsvr32 msdxm.ocx
regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX
regsvr32 MSINET.OCX

Ok, now that makes me feel so stupid. That answer was so simple yet eluded me for quite a few days now. The only thing I did was run the register_ocx file in the resources file as administrator and now everything works. Took about a second to fix this problem once you figured it out. lol. Thank you very much : )
