Please wait while Windows installs...message for access

I recently upgraded from Office XP (aka 2002) to Office 2003.
Whenever I attempt to open Access, I receive the message "Please wait while Windows installs Microsoft Office Professional 2003" and then wait a few minutes until the process completes. After that Access runs fine...but this happens EVERY TIME that I start Access.

This message does not occur when I load other Office apps such as Word or Excel, which come up promptly.

I've tried uninstalling Office 2003 Pro, running a registry cleaner, and then reinstalling Office, but the problem does not go away.

Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how did you make it go away?

Thanks,

Phil
