Cannot Create New Database Connection in VB.net

Question

I am new to the database stuff in VB.net but have been having some problems setting up a new database connection on my home computer. This is what is happening, i go to add a new database connection in a new project by going to the data tab and then double clicking on the OleDbDataAdaptor button. I click the "Next" button at the bottom of the page to start the new DB access process. However, when i click on the "New Database" button nothing happens. I have done this without problem on other computers so i have pretty much narrowed it down to something on my computer. I have tried to do a repair installation on VB.NEt and even uninstalled and reinstalled it but am still having this problem. What could be causing this? Any help is appreciated.

is the pc using win 98 or some derivitave (se,me) ?
if so you may need to update MDAC and JET drivers.
I have links on my site to the correct updates.
go to www.mod2software.com, click Downloads, Then look for the System Requirements link on that page in the "Class Builder" purchase section. The Sys Req page explains potential db problems with .net and 98 regardless if framework 1.1 is installed. There are links to the MS updates - please read.
If you are not on 98 then I typed all of this for my health ;)
