You should stop using sql 2000

like i told you in PM, use sql 2008 and do what i told u with dll4xamp.exe and php.ini mssql extension thats it..

Only time i recommend sql 2000 is with season 6 files that don't function with new sql's as well. But other then that upgrade your sql. SQL 2000 is 17 years old. Use sql 2008 or a new sql.
