Cannot Create System DSN

Hi,
I'm having some difficulty creating a system DSN on a
win2K machine for connecting to a SQL 2000 server. I'm not
sure if this may be a better question for the windows
group, but... Anyway, when I go through the odbc setup in
windows, the DSN does not appear in the list of system
dsn's that are already created. I begin to create it, and
it says it already exists, "overwrite?". (this is because
I have already tried creating it with that name, and am
using the same dsn name. If I use a new name, I don't get
the "already exists" message, but the following problem
still occurs.) I do so, and continue through creating the
dsn and successfully testing the connection. When I
finish the creation, the dsn name still does not appear in
the list of system dsn's. Is this a corrupt odbc database
on the win2K machine? I have no idea!!! PS I am tryiing
to create it with local Administrator priveledges.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

t to no avail. Any other suggestions?
