Thats not an issue with ASP. The ASP is working fine otherwise you wouldn't be getting the error that was generated.

The error is with the the data access components most likely. Try reinstalling the MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components). Google MDAC and you should be able to re-download them.

is mdac only available for x86 system. or there is x64 version also?

Ach ... doesn't look great tbh .... found this on the microsoft forums

I agree with you. In this case, there is a way to connect to Oracle (since oracle has x64 drivers) - But jet users are doomed.. There is *no* way to connect to a Access DB using Jet 4.0, since I hear that MS has no plans of porting Jet to x64.

Which roughly translated means there's no mdac driver available to connect to access on 64 bit servers (which tbh just doesn't seem right)

No, you can use it ... but 64 bit systems cannot use x64 MDAC because it doesn't exist, I've read that there is a way to force it to use 32 bit drivers, but you would need to read up on how to do this, I'm just going by what I've seen on the Microsoft Forums on this.
