I get this error message below when trying to connect from Excel to SQL database. The same Excel workbook with its data links works on a different PC but not on my normal one that i need to use it on. Have reinstalled Office 2010 but made no difference. What needs to be done to fix this?

Error:

Excel was unable to load a necessary component. This component might have been damaged or deleted. Reinstall the client software or data source driver for your database.
