always preparing to install and please wait to configure

Each time I open Access 2003 I have to "please wait" while it configures
Office 2003. It does open finally, but this is very annoying. All other
programs open fine. Reinstalled and did the detect and repair to no avail.
Can't find squat on the web about it to help. Can somebody please tell me
what it's doing?

Oops, I overlooked a previous thread with the same problem...
When I ran chkdsk as suggested, the problem was solved. (at cmd prompt run
chkdsk /f it may tell you to schedule task then restart computer to do it)

copy of the other thread:

Perhaps the "upgrade" was not as successful as you thought, and the info
is not being correctly written to the drive. You could try running
chkdsk on the drive, and or create another Admin profile and try the
install from there.

I have recently upgraded a PC to Win XP Pro and installed Office 2003. Word,
Excel and Outlook work perfectly but, every time I start Access, Windows
Installer starts up and says "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft
Office Professional Edition 2003". Access finally starts OK but this is
irritating and slow.
Any Ideas ?
