I asked before, what do you mean it is password protected? I (just 5
minutes ago to check) uninstalled the driver, downloaded it and reinstalled
it and nowhere was I asked for a password.

I'm downloading from here:
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/index.html

To try to register a dll, try typing: regsvr32 <path to dll>
I'm not sure if this is good enough for the odbc driver manager though. I
asked earlier for that tyoe of info today.
