  This link is about a slightly different version - XP but it sounds
  like similar problem. Might be worth looking at.

  The third post down has the solution that the original poster came to
  use..He attributed the problem to JET which maybe wouldn't have been
  reinstalled if you did a re-install if it thought it was already
  there.  Here's the solution as posted.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  "Any way, if anyone else runs into this problem, let me tell you how I
  resolved the issue. I ran into a problem running another program and
  was able to get real useable information about that error. Realized
  the issue was with msjet40.dll. I tried using the file in the MS KB
  to upgrade the file, and it wouldn't work since I had installed XP SP
  2. I decided to reinstall XP SP 2 and it reinstalled msjet40.dll.
  Now I can open files in access and in the other program."
