System.mdw error when installing Access 97

[dreammaker888]

My computer crashed and I had to install everything from scratch.

I have a XP Media OS and plenty of memory (2-gbite) and disk space. After installing and trying to launch, I got following error message . . .

Microsoft Access couldn't find file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\system.mdw". This file is required for startup.

I tried running the workgroup administrator and get following error . . .

An error has occurrd at changing workgroup database.

I did a global search in my drive C:\ and it cannot find system.mdw

Please help.
