Acess 97 wont start

[Erik]

I had Office XP installed on my computer, but it doesn't have Access. I have an older copy of Office 97 that has Access. I installed Access and Powerpoint from the Office 97 installation. Powerpoint works just fine but Access wont start. It says there is no license for Access on the machine. I installed the service packs for Office 97, but it didn't make any difference

Anyone have any guesses to get Access to work? It is weird Powerpoint works but Access doesn't. I was unable to find anything usefull on Microsoft's website. This computer is running XP.
