Cannot Load Jdbc Driver Class Net Sourceforge Jtds

Dear All,
Now that I am able to launch the Spoon.bat after installing java 8 ( thanks to JohanHammink for your help in another post ) , I am stuck currently in establishing a DB connection with MSSQL.
I also had restarted my machine reading the same in one of the posts, but that did not help. Please let me know of anything that can resolve this. Thanks in advance.

The entire error looks like below :
Error connecting to database [DBConnection] rg.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleDatabaseException:
Error occurred while trying to connect to the database


Driver class 'net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver' could not be found, make sure the 'MS SQL Server' driver (jar file) is installed.
