Unable to import files...please help

[importproblem]

Under 'File' & 'Get External Data' & 'Import' I can see options for different
file types but when I select, nothing happens. How can I make these
selections active? For example, I have a text file available to import but
Access does not continue with the import wizard. Please help. Thank you!

If the import/export wizards don't work at all, re-register ACCWIZ.DLL

If it's one or more file formats that aren't listed, re-register the
following files
msexcl40.dll (Excel)
msxbse40.dll (dBase)
mspdox40.dll (Paradox)
mstext40.dll (Text, CSV, tab-delimited))
In Access 97, the filenames contain 35 instead of 40.

To re-register a DLL file,

1) Locate it (usually all these are in the Windows\System32 or
WINNT\System32 folder.

2) Locate the file regsvr32.exe.

3) Drag the DLL file's icon onto the regsvr32.exe icon.
