Import Wizard Hangs

I have Access 2000 installed on my Toshiba laptop (work)
and have not been able to use the Import Wizard (this also
happened on a previous machine).

I select File/Get Ext. Data/Import and select the file.
After this the words 'Import Text Wizard' appear in the
lower left hand corner, but nothing further happens. I
have to kill Access eventually since it hangs from this
point on.

This happens when I try to import text or Excel files.
However, importing tables from other databases works
fine. In addtion, I can import a text file/Excel
spreadsheet using Transfer Text in a Macro.

Has anyone experienced this before? I've opened tickets
with my IT department and no one can seem to figure it out.
Thanks for any help.
 
You may have to re-register any and/or all of the
following dll files:

accwiz.dll Wizards
msexcl40.dll Excel
msxbse40.dll dbase
mspdox40.dll paradox
mstext40.dll Text, CSV, Tab-Delimited

Find the location of these files on your computer. They
usually reside in the system folder.
Win98 - C:\Windows\System32
Win2000 - C:\WINNT\System32

Then click [Start] > Run...
then type: (example)

regsvr32 C:\WINNT\System32\msexcl40.dll

Hope this helps.
