Workgroup Information File

B

Bill

I have Access XP (2002) installed on my system

When I try to open a database or create a new one, it
tells me
"Workgroup Administrator couldn't create the workgroup
information file. Make sure you have specified a valid
path and file name, that you have adequate permissions to
create the file, and that you have enough disk space on
the destination drive. (-3100)"

and then
"Microsoft Access couldn't find the file 'C:\Documents and
Settings\My Name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Access\System.mdw'. This file is required
for startup."

Trouble is, I have no idea about this file. I did not
create one (so I guess Access created it itself) and I
have not removed it. I cannot seem to recreate it and
there isn't any relevant information on Knowledgebase to
help me.

I cannot use Access 2002 until I get this file...but I
don't know how to get it or create it. I have tried
uninstalling Access, rebooting and reinstalling to no
avail.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thx
