why is MDAC not showing my list of ODBC drivers??

[oompal]

I keep installing MDAC - some kind of database driver so I can connect with me Access db - but I can't see it in my ODBC. I'm fairly new to all of this but I'm not going anywhere at this rate. I have scoured the net and it's very unclear what's going on and how to get past this one.

anyone have any ideas?

More than likely, it is already installed. Check the following Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DataAccess\FullInstallVer

the value there is : 2.82.3959.0

so how do I get around this? all I'm trying to do is set up my ODB driver so I can use it in my web application software - Dreamweaver.
