Access fails to start

[CL]

Today Access fails to start on my Windows 2003 server. Used yesterday and
had no problem .... Windows updates were applied over night.

Error message is 'Access failed to start correctly last time. .... Do you
want to start Access in safe mode. ..... To my knowledge, I never did have a
failure in the last 24 hours, so can't believe this.

Did the dectect errors and repair .... run successfully, but still get this
failure everytime.

Any ideas?

Did you download and install any automatic updates last night? The have a
habit of changing your security settings and you may need to change them
back.

Autoupdate did KB941568, 942615, 941569, 890830, 942763, 944653, 942840

Can't think of what security settings you would be referencing as I run as
Administrator when using the server.

The server does run IIS for a database app - all of my databases are Access
and the web app works think.

Access was installed with Excel, Powerpoint & Word .... they all work fine.

..... just did a 're-install' (without the removal) still no luck.

You'll need to research all of them and try to see if that's the reason.

If it is an install problem, it's always wise to uninstall, reboot then
reinstall. Sometimes even then it won't work right an you'll need to
uninstall, reboot, use a registry cleaner, reboot again, then reinstall.
