Environment:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System

Problem:
(ODBC Data Source Administrator)
Opening Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC) -> Click "System DSN" tab.

Error:
ODBC System DSN Warning You are logged on with non-Administrative privileges.
System DSNs could not be created or modified.

Failed Troubleshooting so far:
Enabled local Administrator account logged in under this account.
Navigated to C:\Windows\System32\ right clicked odbcad32.exe Run as Administrator

Notes: I am an Administrator on this machine.
The 32-bit version runs fine if I open C:\Windows\SysWoW64\odbcad32.exe
However, I need the data source to be 64-bit.
I am not experiencing this problem on any of my other 64-bit machines.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
