hey guys,
I just installed office 2003, and I am having issues with Access 2003.

I installed it and tried to open a database and I get this error message.
I also get the message when I try to start a new database.

Workgroup administrator couldn't create the workgroup information file. Make sure that you have specified a valid path and file name, that you have adequate permissions to create the file, and that you have enough disk space on the destination drive. (-3100)

I hit the "ok" button and it shows another window saying Access couldn't find file "file path" This file is required for startup.

I search google and found that people say just goto Tools menu>Security>Workgoup Administrator and change the file.

Well first off I am admin on this machine, I have plenty of disk space, and when I goto the security menu and open the workgroup admin menu, I try to change anything and I get the same error message and won't let me change the file location or the workgroup

please help
thanks

Are you running Office 2003 SP1?
What Access version was the database created on?
