opening a DTS Package.. error

Anyone know how to troubleshoot this error?    When opening up a previously saved DTS package...  i first get an error:

- - - - - -
DTS Designer Error           "There was a problem retrieving the list of OLE DB providers"
- - - - - -

I just installed a local copy of SQL Server 2000 Eval Edition on my Windows XP Prof  and cannot get past this error, wondering what it means..

They were probably created with a different version and/or Service Pack to the one you have installed.

Any DTS package..    when I right-click on the package and select Design Package...   i get this error message first before it opens the design ...  

DTS Designer Error          

              "There was a problem retrieving the list of OLE DB providers"


I am beyond frustrated..

by chance, do you know where in the registry to find this change?    what does this change in the registry?
I have faced same problem and one of my friends had suggested me to re-register the sqloledb.dll file.
