Old SQL ODBC driver on 2003 Server

Anyone run into this.
I have a Windows 2003 Server which has a very old sql Server ODBC Driver
installed. If I go into Data Sources and view the SQL Server driver it is
dated back in 1997. Very old and I suspect that when someone installed 6.5
SQL Server tools, it overwrote the newer driver.
Bottom line, how do I re-install SQL Server Driver, or other ODBC drivers
for that matter on a 2003 server without reinstalling the OS?

Try installing the latest MDAC (version 2.8, I think). You can get that from the Microsoft site.

re-install Windows 2003 SP1).
An "update install" is you just pop in the Windows 2003 CD and say you are
going to install it. The setup will prompt you if you want to do an "update
install" say yes. This is sort of like a repair install so to speak.
