2. Type regedit in the Open text box and then click OK.

   The Registry Editor displays.

3. Navigate to and select the following registry key:

   For 32–bit implementations:  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\OpenDB

   For 64–bit implementations:  Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\OpenDB64
