When I open the program Machine Hardware Identity I get an error message "Error 429 active x component can't create object". there was problem in the database with ADO.

That means that ADO is corrupt on your system and isnt working.

Download my windows repair tool, when you get to the repairs uncheck all the repairs and only put a check on Repair MDAC/MS Jet (ADO is part of MDAC) then after it runs do a reboot and let me know if you still have the error

Shane, did as you suggested. The same error message came up and program closed.

On my other site, on this page
http://www.pcwintech.com/shanes-toolbox

Grab the Test MDAC, which is towards the bottom of the page. Run the test and post the results for me

No, not my windows repair log

The results of the test mdac tool I asked you to grab and run

OK so now lets check to see if any of the ADO files are missing. What version of windows are you on?

Shane

shemaya · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2014, 05:17:35 pm »

hi Shane,
I am running Windows 7 Home Edition Service pack 1 64bits.

Shane · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2014, 11:54:39 am »

Ok, go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\ado

And get me a screen shot of all the files you have there, please

Shane

shemaya · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2014, 03:43:41 pm »

Here it is.

Shane · « **Reply #11 on:** August 22, 2014, 05:11:18 pm »

Any chance you can turn off the preview column on the right and get a screen shot showing the date modified and sizes for me? That way I can compare the files with the ones on my Windows 7

Shane

shemaya · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2014, 05:28:46 pm »

New screen

Shane · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:14:43 pm »

OK, files look good. So that means that something is messed up or missing in the registry for ADO.

I grabbed the ADO registry from my Windows 7 system. Apply this reg file and then reboot and lets see if that does the trick, if it doesnt then I need to look for more keys

Thanks Shane,
that fixed the problem.
Great website.

Good to hear it fixed it. When registering the dll files those dll files should have put those registry keys back themselves yet they didnt. perhaps I will update the repair mdac with the reg keys as well
