SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Access, you receive the error messages:

Couldn't find file 'WIZARD.MDA'

  -and-

Some libraries or modules could not load. Click OK or press ENTER to continue.



CAUSE
Your MSACC20.INI file has been deleted from the Windows directory, or it has been renamed or moved. Also, the Microsoft Access version 1.x MSACCESS.INI file is still in the Windows directory. If Microsoft Access version 2.0 cannot find the MSACC20.INI file, it will use the version 1.x MSACCESS.INI file.



RESOLUTION

 * 1) Delete or rename the MSACCESS.INI file.
 * 2) Locate your MSACC20.INI file and place it in your Windows directory. If it has been deleted, reinstall Microsoft Access to rebuild the MSACC20.INI file.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
NOTE: These steps assume that the Microsoft Access version 1.x MSACCESS.INI file exists in your Windows directory.


 * 1) In Windows File Manager, select the MSACC20.INI file in your Windows directory and rename it to some other name.
 * 2) Start Microsoft Access version 2.0. The error messages stated above will be generated.
 * 3) Quit Microsoft Access.
 * 4) In File Manager, rename the file that you changed in step 1 back to MSACC20.INI.
