Access can't run because there is no license??

[Jon]

I tried to install my Access 97 license on our new computer that is
running Windows XP with Office XP installed. When I try to run access I
get "Access can't run because there is no license" I typed the CDKey
in and it let me install. I did some searching on the Internet; I found
an article that mentioned to log into the administrator account (not an
account with administrator priviledges) then reinstall. I rebotted into
safe mode, logged in with administrator uninstalled then reinstalled and
I am still getting this error. Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks

Jon

Try this KB article, it should be fairly simple to fix.

This fixed it. Thanks, I am curious how a stupid font file can cause
this problem. No wonder MS software is infamous for its bugs and
security issues if a simple TTF can crash an install.
