cannot open access files

Bev

I have just installed and reinstalled Office 2000 several
times and everytime I try and open an access file I get
"MS Access couldn't find 'systems.mdw' this file is
required for startup.
WHat do I need to get this program to work. THis is a
Dell 4100 running Windows 2000.
Any help would be appreceiated.
Thanks

Have you downloaded and installed all SPs/SRs? There are some issues with
the systems.mdw file that are resolved by the installation of SR1/SR1a.

Was Access previously running on PC? if so which version?
If not which version of Office2K are you installing? not all versions
include Access.
If Office2K version includes Access have you checked that Access is actually
being installed?
You may want to try a Custom Install
