Access refuses to acknowledge my serial number when installing

[Thomas]

I've had Microsoft Professional Office since 1996. Yes I
know its an old version, It works for me or at least it
did.

I had windows 95 system up until a month ago. It also
worked for me. The MS Office worked fine on that machine.
Installed no problem. I now have windows 98 a new machine.

I dig my disk out for MS Prof Office, install it, follow
all the rules, enter my serial number when asked, get the
product key.

Now its time to run Access. I get this message:

MS Access can't start because there is no licence on this
machine.

My response: What the hey??

I have been running this program for what 5-6 years now, I
followed all the instructions for installiton and here is
the worse part.

I installed ALL the other programs from Office Prof to the
computer and they ALL work EXCEPT Access.

So...

HELP!!

Can anybody please tell me what is going on?
Or what I can do to get access working?

Thank you

I've only heard of this problem with Access 97, not Access 95. With Access
97, the problem is usually (hard as it is to believe) an errant font.

See whether the fix at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=141373 works for
you.
