    I keep getting an error trying ot load a program on my new t60
    the error states
    Error initializing ODBC module ODBCCP32.DLL. The file is locked. Please close all open programs and then run setup again.

    As far as I can tell I have no other programs running.

    read something here... maybe that ODBC file thing you need is 64-bit. and your software only includes the 32-bit... and your new t60 has the "new" 64-bit C2D processor? and your colleagues at work only has the 32bit core duo :) hehe my guess there. am not a computer geek. just my dumb guess.

    it says there that you need compatible version of that driver. maybe you need the 64-bit. but don't take that on me, research more. google it or yahoo it. i'm kinda sleepy, not drunk... zzz
