trouble w/ MS Access 97

[Guest]

I'm in the need to use MS access 97... Due to that everytime I try to run the
application I get the "Microsoft Access can't start because there is no
license for it on this machine" I went into the regedit feature to delete
everything related with Office registers, I also used the Office 97 File and
Registry eraser utility. However after re-installing the original MS office
97 I get the same window, all other MSOffice programs run fine. I have a
laptop running MS windows 2000.

Hi Oscar,

You'll never have guessed this, but you actually need to be looking for a font!

See this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article for the solution:

There is a free download to fix the problem but it only works on Windows 98 I believe.
