Thanks Nils.
I forgot that the support staff started installing 64 bit machines.
Once I ran odbcad32.exe all of the 32 bit drivers reappeared and I was able to move on to the next problem.
Thanks again!

Hi Fred!
You probably installed the 32 bit version of the driver, right? If you open the ODBC dialog in the Control Panel, you see only the 64 bit drivers. To see the 32 bit drivers, run
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

Betreff: [ODBC] PostgreSQL driver not visible in windows control panel
One of the employees here is having trouble connecting to a postgreSQL server, so while looking for the problem I opened Windows 7 control panel > administrative tools > Data Sources (ODBC) >Drivers (tab) and there are no postgreSQL drivers listed.
This employee can successfully connect to a different postgreSQL server on a different web server, so I was startled to see no drivers.
How is this possible? Is windows hiding the drivers for some reason? If so, how does one make Windows give up the information about the driver(s)?
Any ideas about what is happening greatly appreciated.
