Looking For Help .....

I'm trying to download a fantasy baseball draft kit. I'm running windows7 with explorer7. I do all of the steps in the download when I try to open the program I get this message: "Unrecognized database format C:\ProgramData\insiderbaseball2012\custombdb.mdb: -- Error number: 3343". I did contact the site that I downloaded from, they told me that it is on my end. Could it be something with my norton? Could it be a firewall? It's almost like only some of the program downloads. Any help would be great.... Thanks

 

Hi and welcome bcbl

I'll be honest in that I'd never heard of the error your suffering from, so I went and found this artical about it.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182867#appliesto

I think I would try, uninstalling if possible, if not I'd manually delete the folders associated with it, but this then would leave registry entries that need removing,

so after uninstalling or deleting associated folders I would then do a system restore to before when you first installed the application.

then I would try disabling any Antivirus, firewall programs, and try installing the application again.

alternativley you could try the advice in the article or wait for a more experienced tech to post.

 

Further to Match's advice I also haven't encountered this problem. I have read this about this error.

I would run a full scan with Malwarebytes free.

Update all your drivers.
Run Disc cleanup.
