Help! Db-library network communications layer not loaded.

Hi,
We are using a windows application that uses MSDE 2000 on an XP Pro Machine
as a server.
Everthing was fine until last Friday. Suddenly, the XP server computer
started to give this error "Db-library network communications layer not
loaded." when we started to run application on it.
From other client computers we can succesfully connect and run the
application, but somehow the main machine does not work. I thought the
automatic update was on and it updated some MDAC drivers or may be Net
framework. I tried to install MDAC 2.7, but still no change. (I tired some
web searches but still nothing)
I really appreciate if you can give any suggestions/solutions.
Thanks.

DB-Library is not part of MDAC or MSDE, so probably you had it on your other
machine because you installed the client tools or something.
Anyhow I also hope you realize that DB-Library is a dead API since the
introduction of SQL Server 7.0 in 1998 and it does not allow you to connect
to named instances for example (without using an alias or protocol prefix),
Unicode, strings longer then 255 or any of the other new data types
introduced in SQL Server 7.0 or 2000.
