    Are you talking about a new installation of Access starting up for the first time? Which version are you attempting to install? Where did you obtain the installation file?

    Thanks for providing us with enough information to help you with the problem.

    Update Access to the fixed build, because this is a known issue with certain versions where the automatic configuration never completes.

    Steps:

    1. Start Access (let it open as far as it will).
    2. In Access, go to File > Account.
    3. Select Update Options > Update Now.
    4. Wait for Office to download and install the latest Monthly Channel build.
    5. Restart Access and verify that the configuration completes successfully.

    This issue is resolved in Monthly Channel Version 1802 (Build 9029.2253) or higher; installing the latest updates applies that fix.
