Test succeeds but then "[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Could not determine the driver name..." when linking from Access

I just installed MyODBC-3.51.10-2-win.exe on XP Pro. I've never had any version of MySQL ODBC driver installed on this machine before.

I added a new system DSN and hit the Test button. It passed. Then I tried to add a link from Access. I chose File/Get External Data/Link Tables... I set the file type to ODBC and clicked Link. I clicked the Machine Data Source tab, scrolled down to the name I had given this particular DSN, "gcn", selected it and clicked "OK". I got a dialog saying, "ODBC--call failed". When I clicked OK it put up a message box that reads, "[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Could not determine the driver name so could not lookup setup library. (#0)" Changing the name I assigned to the DSN to match the driver, "ODBC 3.51 Driver", doesn't help.

What's wrong?
