can't use wizards

[pepperca]

I am using Access 2000. When I try to create a form, report, or anything using a wizard I get the following message.

This feature isn't installed.
To install this feature, rerun the Microsoft Access of Microsoft Office setup program or, if you're using a third party add-in, reinstall the add-in.

I use to be able to use the wizards but for some reason I can't now.
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled Office making sure that everything was installed.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Try installing the Office setup CD in a folder on your hard drive.
Run the startup and set the features you want to 'start on first use' Then, when it asks if you want to install a feature, point it(Browse) to 'office' on your hard drive instead of a CD. I found it can't activate Wizards from a CD. Don't ask me why. But, I've dealt with this same problem and this was the solution.
Also, make sure the Wizard button is activated on the toolbar(looks like a wand with stars around it).
Good Luck

I have had the same problem and UNINSTALLING and INSTALLING Office didn't do the trick.

Uninstall doesn't get everything and it leaves behind some files that can cause the problem.

To COMPLETLY remove Office you have to download Eraser2000 or Eraser97 from the MS Web site.

Do a search for the file you need, there are instructions for the use, so read them.

This worked for me.

I did what you suggested Richard, downloading the Eraser files, but I am still getting the same message.
