640bit ODBC are visiable in Windows 7 control,
32-bit ODBC drivers are only visible in " C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"

You will find a separate list of 32-bit odbc drive list postgress.

Thanks for responding! It is none of the lists: User, System, File DSN or Drivers. In fact the System DSN is blank. And My Data Sources is also blank in File DSN. The only drivers that show are MS Access/dBASE, MS Access, MS ACCESS Text, MS EXCEL, and SQL Server.
Yes I am signed in as Admin when I did the psqlodbc install and I have opened the ODBC Data Source as Admin also.

These are good questions. I wish they sparked an answer :)

What list?
User DSN
System DSN
File DSN
or
Drivers?

Are you logged in as Administrator or not?

Can anyone point
