Cannot initialize BDE

[syrena]

I have reinstalled Win 98 SE on my computer attempting to improve performance.
As a result I cannot start my Paradox 7 that have been using for at least 7 years.
The message I get is:
"Could not initialize BDE
Cannot load language driver"
I have reinstalled Paradox 7 from original CD and still get same message.
Any suggestions what to do?

Have you tried deleting the BDE directory in the \program files directory (after saving it to somewhere else) and reinstalling?

Possibly, did you upgrade the BDE before and not since you reinstalled '98?

Thank You, Tony.
Deleting the \program files\Borland\BDE\ directory and reinstalling from the original CD solved the problem. Apparently a lot of garbage files had accumulated in this directory over the years and somehow corrupted the original files.
