    Hi,

    I'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 7.

     when I create the new database I get the following error:

    Error 17750:could not load the DLL xpstar9.0.dll, or one of the dll's it references. Reason: 126 (the specified module could not be found.)

     

     why this problem occured ?

    Did you try to create database using SSMS?.  Let us know the SQL Server version you are using.

    I have seen xpstar*.* missing sometime in the past.  (It was years ago for me.)  The easiest fix was to copy it from some other server and into the proper path for the server with the missing dll.  E.g.

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn

    Of course, the correct thing to try is to repair your installation of SQL Server.  If that does not work, then uninstall and reinstall the server.  But that often seemed too heavy a route to go.  (Or we were lazy in those days.)   I currently always insist on having a complete SQL Server installation.

    FWIW,
