Default Access won't start due to lack of free memory

I have re-loaded Office 97 after system crash. Everything except Access
works. When I try to start Access I get the following message; "A system
error has occurred or there isn't enough free memory to start Access". I am
using Windows XP Home Edition and I have 1 gig of RAM. Any suggestions please?

After the crash was the hard drive replaced or wiped clean? If not, there may
be some old parts of Office and Access hanging around even if you did an
uninstall. I don't remember with Office 97; however, Microsoft has some
removal tools available for newer versions of Office that helps clean out all
the remnents of Offices before doing a reinstall. Even then I had a case
where we had to wipe the hard drive and reload Windows 2000 and Office 2000
to get Access to run properly.

Jeff answered your question in a previous thread but I'll repeat the
relevant portions of his answer.
