ODBC drivers in the control panel include reference to "PostgreSQL ANSI", but
there is no version number, company or file info.

Attempting to select the driver gives "The setup routines for the PostgreSQL
ANSI ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver" follwed by a
dialogue titled "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed"
containing "Component not found in the registry".
I can confirm that psqlodbca.dll is in c:\winnt_4\system32, as is pgxalib.dll.
I've checked the registry values and they appear to be as you specified.
Remaining steps omitted for obvious reasons :-(
