unexpected critical error; can't start program

When I open a database in Access, work with it, then close it, it closes
immediately.

When I open a database, then open the VB Editor, Access fails to close
immediately, but instead shows the error dialog “Unexpected critical error;
can’t start program.†I assumed it was trying to compact the database, so I
turned that option off, to no effect. Click OK in the error dialog dismisses
it. Access stays running.

After a while (20 secs?), a new error dialog opens with the message “Runtime
error ‘429’: ActiveX component can’t create object.â€

Same thing happens when I open the VB editor in Outlook, PowerPoint, and
Excel, but not in Word.

I ran Detect and Repair with no success.

What is going on here, and how do I fix it?
