I suspect that the missing DLLs are installed by some extremely common software (e.g. Microsoft Office), so very few do not have these installed prior to installing PHP. However, I'm one of these few. I installed Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1, and the problem no longer occurs -- the phpinfo() page appears in all its glory. HTH
