Error descriptions missing

I recently had to upgrade from SQL server 7 to SQL 2000 which resulted in me having to burn down my NT4 PC and upgrade to Windows 2000.

As a result of this I now find that when an application errors, I get OLE error codes like 80040E14 rather than the SQL textual description of the error, say
'Unclosed quotation mark before the character string '
when running a bad sql statement.


Is there some global setting somewhere that can get the error descriptions as opposed to the cryptic OLE error code?

Many thanks

Vince
