Help is needed! Updated to new PC and from Visual Studio 2008 to 2013. ODBC Data Connections are broken in all my projects

I am using Visual Studio 2008 to build some basic search applications where I work. In 2008, I could just go to "add a new data source", select the ODBC connection and select my iDeries Access ODBC driver, select the tables I want, and then drag and drop them onto the DataGridView in my window form. Now when I go to this in VS 2013, I click on one of my ODBC connections. The Add datasource window either just disappears or I get the error "Object reference not set to object instance". Is there a difference in how Visual Studio 2008 handles odbc and Visual Studio 2013 connections?

I'm sure this is something simple that I'm missing, but I really need these connections to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

* edit, I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of VS 2013 and I still have the same problem. Visual Studio 2008 continues to work without issue.

Since you have a new PC, the data source may not be defined. check on your PC the Administration Tools> ODBC Data Sources> ODBC AS400 Driver> Configure> Server tab> Lib List. Your libraries you want to access may not appear in your Lib list.
