If you don't use the 9i ODBC drivers, then don't install them with the 9i installation. That might spare your 8.0.5 ODBC drivers.

It has to do something with Windows, because I have 8.0.6, 8.1.7 and 9.2.0 clients on the same Solaris 8 box and they both work fine.

Did you check your registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ODBC :
ODBC.INI and ODBCINST.INI directories? It has list of your db instances and the Driver they are using. Try to set this back to 8.0.5 ODBC driver location.


Hope that helps,
