hi folks,

here is the problem i am having: i am trying to install a PostgreSQL ODBC
driver on a Windows XP professional machine. i installed the driver through
its set up file and it does show up in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ODBC/ODBCINST.INI/ODBC Drivers, however when i go
to Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC) and i click on Add to add a new
data source it is not listed there. anybody know what the problem is?

Thanks.
 
XP
Select Start >Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data
Sources (ODBC).

Look for file odbcad.exe, if exists more then once, edit shortcut to
point to the other instance and tray again
 
Recently after logging on to Earthlink I try to access my Email from the
earthlink tool bar and get the following message: ODBC Microsoft access
driver login failed. The Microsoft jet database engine stopped the process
because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the
same time. I am the only user of my home computer. I have tried virus scan
and spyware scan with no problems detected. Any recomendations out there?
Thanks!
