Can't create SQL Server ODBC Connection

[osubb]

I'm trying to create a SQL Server connection through ODBC manager.

I click on the 'ADD' button in the 'System DSN' tab.
It takes me to the "Create New Data Source" window. I then select the "SQL SERVER" driver and click "FINISH" tab. Instead of getting a window to add properties, it takes me back to the "System DSN" window.

Any idea why it won't let me create a new source?
I'm on a WinXP SP#2 machine.

Do you have admin privs on that machine? If not, select the user DSN tab instead.

Yes, I have admin. I also tried the "User DSN" tab. Both just returned me to the "User/System DSN" window.

This seems to be a problem with only "SQL Server" driver.

I was wondering if it could be MDAC driver. Not really sure what it is, someone at work mentioned it. Trying to get info now.
