Cannot Create New Database Connection in VB.net

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.
