i don't know if there is a way to uninstall mdac.

how do you know you were running MDAC 2.7 previously? MDAC 2.8 is 4 or 5 years old now.

I checked it through Component checker..and it stated in SP3 that which MDAC was used, also SP4 had MDAC 2.8 in it.
Thanks for your replies. I managed to do un-install of MDAC 2.8 and installation of MDAC 2.7.
Thanks again.
