Windows rollback: On a computer that is running Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition, if you try to roll back your MDAC installation to an earlier version, the computer is left in a mixed state where your files are not all from the same version of MDAC. This behavior occurs because of a problem with the setup technology that is included with Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition.
