    That's probably the problem, then.

    However, because this is a Windows Registry issue, not an Access issue, it's outside the scope of typical Access problem. I think you should also search out forums for support for Windows installation problems.

    Have you reinstalled Access? Do you have an Access runtime installed?

    There is probably a conflict between the registry entries for this application and others. Do you have earlier versions of Access installed on the same computer?

    Try starting Access by running it as Administrator. Right-Click Access and select "Run as Administrator".
