Access 97 on XP

[Sandee]

I just bought a new computer that came with Office XP
(word, excel, outlook, publisher). It does not have
Access XP. However, I had purchased Access 97 years ago.
So, I tried to install this on the XP computer, alongside
Office XP. It appeared to install without any problems,
asked for the product key, etc. However, when I tried to
run Access, I get the message that it is not licensed for
this computer. I checked the registry settings as per a
support FAQ and all users have read access to the
licenses. Not sure why it won't run. Any suggestions?

It is a fairly common bug.

See the MSKB:

I had already modify registry as taught in this KB, but
still prompting the same dialog box. Do I need to
reinstall Access 97 after modification?
