BDE initialization failure (error $2501) on Vista

Question

I have a small datasnap server written in Delphi 2007 that accesses the BDE. It works fine on Windows 2000 and XP but from time to time (actually quite regularly) on Vista

Answer 1

Andy's answer link to www.torry.net is for some $30 software package that "claims" to fix BDE errors. I'd comment on it, but I don't have the reputation points. (...but someone else could...) The link doesn't work, but if you search for "BDE Setting" you'll probably find it. I can find no evidence or reviews that it works. Download unsigned exe's at your own risk... (I'll pass)
