Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this machine

[bdhtexas]

I recently bought a new computer and it was kinda cheap, so no office products were installed on the computer. A friend loaned me her copy of Office 2003 which didn't have Access on it. So, after installing Office 2003 I picked my old Office 97 CD and installed just Access 97. Then I go to open the database and get this annoying message.

Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this machine.

Can anyone help? Thanks for your time.
