What is "Windows 518.4"? :-)

Seriously, there is no such thing as Windows 8.1 x64, because there are at least two different incompatible 64-bit instruction-set architectures. If OS supports one of them, it cannot use software targeted to another concrete instruction-set architecture. They are: x86-64 and IE64 (Itanium).

Not sure what exact problem do you have...

Have a look here: ODBC Data Source Administrator[^]
The Microsoft® ODBC Data Source Administrator manages database drivers and data sources. This application is located in the Windows Control Panel under Administrative Tools. Beginning in Windows 8, the icon is named ODBC Data Sources, and on 64-bit operating systems there is a 32-bit and 64-bit version.

As per my uderstanding, you need to install this driver: MS Access Database Engine[^] - choose 64bit version.
If you are an application developer using ODBC to connect to Microsoft Office Access data, set the Connection String to Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=path to mdb/accdb file.

For further information, please see: http://www.connectionstrings.com/access-2013/[^]
