Access 97 No License Uninstall/Reinstall Problem

[Bob Wall]

Access 97, Win XP Home Edition
Trying to fix the "...no license on this machine" error as mentioned in
several previous posts; no problem renaming the hatten.tff font file,
however when I open the Control panel to un/re-install, Microsoft Office is
not on the list of options. Naturally, I can't locate my original CD either.

Is there a workaround to repair the registry issue without having to go an
buy (ugh) another copy?

Many thanks in advance...

You can try this solution. It has worked several times for me in the past:

Thanks Arvin, but it did not work for me (I am running XP).
Anyone have an idea on how to modify the registry key manually?

Thanks!

Sorry, I do have 97 installed on this XP machine, but don't see a key to
alter the setting.
