Are you _sure_ the JVM you're running is the same as the one you've added the driver to? Most often, on Windows, the 'java' command ends up being the one in c:\windows\system, which is _not_ the same one as where you've added the driver (unfortunately, windows does not have the 'which' command like Unix, so you'll have to figure it out yourself).

One way to make _sure_ the driver is getting used is to specify the classpath on the comand-line like so:

java -cp path-to-driver-file.jar;.;%CLASSPATH% myClassName

Does it work if you do this?
