MSDE on XP running, but not recognized in ODBC

I installed an MSDE instance for a user running XP with an
admin Windows account. The MSDE Server icon appears in
the notification area, but without the green arrow. Task
manager shows that it is running. Trying to start it up
manually doesn't do anything. When I go to add the Data
Source in ODBC, System DSN (MDAC 2.8 is installed), when
we go to pick the MSDE Server, it doesn't appear in the
drop down when picking a server. Any thoughts or ideas
would be great. Thanks, JRaub.
