Unable to create DSN

Hi,
I have tried many times now to create a DSN in a Virtual PC (2004) Session.
The system is set up as follows:
The PC is running Windows 2003 Server Std Edition (english).
The Virtual PC is running Windows XP (swedish).
I have administration rights on both the PC and in the Virtual PC.

When we create a System DSN to a SQL-server everything seems to go well and
the Test completes without errors. However, when the guide closes and you
return to the list of DSN's there is simply no DSN i in the list. It just
doesn't get saved.

I know that we are running VPC 2004 on Windows Server 2003, which you get a
warning for that it is not optimized for. Can this be the reason?

Is there anyone who has any idea why this is, it would be greatfully
appreciated.

VPC doesn't know anything about DSNs, and has nothing to
do with creating them (or not). You've got an issue in
the Guest OS.

The only way I could see this happening related to VPC is
if you are using Undo disks and shut down (without saving
changes) between setting up the DSN and looking for it.
That does not appear to be your issue based on your
description of the problem.

This should work fine - can you think of anything else that might be
causing this problem.
