Reports Module Not Working

I have been working with Access for many years and have never encountered
this problem. About a week ago Access 2003 stopped allowing me to design,
create or run reports.

I can design and edit tables, modules, macros, queries, forms and run the
app but the reports module does not work. I have tried uninstalling the
whole office suite, ran the MS cleanup utility, reinstalling the Office 2003
Professional package, updating all of the Office updates but nothing seems to
work. I took the app and the database to another computer and it works fine.

Any thoughts on why only the reports module will not work? I am at a loss
as to what is happening especially since I did a clean install of the whole
Office 2003 package.

Thanks in advance,

It happen to me before because there was no printer define in windows, the
minute I defined the priner all went well.
 
That is not the solution for me.

My machines default to a network printer.

Any more suggestions on what to check?
 
I added a fake local printer (none really attached), picked some HP model out
of the list, set it as the default printer and the Access reports worked.
The strange thing is that this computer has only had a network printer
attached to it previously and Access has always worked. In fact I have
several printers setup on my machine, all networked. I had only thought that
Access required a printer to be set up not set up as a local printer.
