Help with missing plug-ins

Hi all!  I'm new to this forum and was wondering if someone could help me with problem I am having with my Music Creator 5 program.
 
Due to a virus, I recently had to have my Vista OS re-installed on my computer.  After re-installing Music Creator 5 back on my computer, whenever I try to open one of my saved projects or start a new one, I get a message saying that I'm missing plug-ins or that they have been improperly installed.  They are for the studio instrument drums (SI-Drum kit (Synth Rack)).  This is the message I get:
 
The following plugins were missing from your project.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified /Owners/GetPlugin.asp, line 84
 
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the program and also doing a custom install just for the studio instrument drums themselves.  It still gives me the same message.
 
I really love this program, but without a drum kit, it is just about useless to me.  I don't know what to do to fix this problem.
If anyone has had a similar problem and knows what to do, I would really appreciate your help.
 
Thank you in advance.

    you need to be sure the SI drums are installed... look in the program files>cakewalk>vstplugins>studio instruments> si drums...... be sure the  file ( SI Drum Kit.DLL)  for SI drums is actually on your machine...... if that is NOT the path...find it.


    Then go into the plug in manager in MC5  Tools>options> plug in manager, and ADD that file path to the list and do a rescan.



    Normally, it should install properly, but when it doesn't you simply have to tell it where to look....one time.

    make sure you turn off UAC in Vista and make sure you install as Administrator.

    I'm sorry for the stupid question, but what is UAC?
