When Administrator is not administrator?

I am running Vista Business 64-bit.

For some strange reasons I cannot add anything to System DSN tag in ODBC
Administrator.

I am getting "You are not logged on as administator" popup. Needless to say - I
*am* logged on as member of Administrators group and I am running Data Sources
(ODBC) from elevated command window and/or "Run As Administrator".

I even logged on as "Administrator" - with the same result.

Seems to me that something is wrong with my registry somewhere (most precise
diagnosis I can come up with ...).

Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling Vista?

Just to let you know ... your posts are coming through.

That said, I have no idea what you are asking.

The ODBC Administrator may not be compatible with Windows Vista 64. Look
for an undated ODBC package that works with Windows Vista 64.
