Question Sybase ASE ODBC in Windows 7

Hi,

I'm a ASP .Net developer and I have this application that queries from a Sybase 12 database in a database server.
Previously, I had Sybase 12 Open Client in my Win XP machine and I had the Sybase ASE ODBC Driver listed in the ODBC Data Source Admin screen.
My connection string is something like this: "Driver={SYBASE ASE ODBC Driver};Database=mydb;NA=something;uid=something.. ."

However, a few weeks ago, our machines were upgraded to Win7.
I found out that I have Sybsae 15 Open client in my machine now and I can't find the Sybase ASE ODBC Driver in the ODBC Data Source Admin screen, so it must not be installed.
When I asked the people here responsible for the Win7 upgrade, they said that the Sybase 12 driver is no longger compatible with Win7.

How am I supposed to continue working on the application I'm developing? Is there a Sybase ASE ODBC Driver for Win7 that I need installed? I just need something that will allow my code to connect to the same Sybase 12 database as it had been doing before.

In the ODBC Data Source Admin page, I can also see an Adaptive Server Enterprise driver (version 15), but when I tried this in the connection string, I encounter errors when calling stored procs, so I think maybe that's not the way to go. (Besides, I also had this driver in WinXP and we never used it)

Please help
