I have Excel 2000 SP3 & Windows XP Home

When I go to Data | Get External Data | Run Saved Query I can imort data
from an Access database into an Excel worksheet. Wheh I go to Data | Get
External Data | New Database Query after a delay a message appears to tell me
that MS Query is not installed. MSQRY32.EXE is in the Office folder & I have
reinstalled it by renaming it to .old & running the Add/Remove facility in
the Office installer to no avail.

I have searched the MSKB & found an article at:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;179686

that refers to this problem but in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
Nevertheless I have tried the resolutions from the article again to no avail.
When trying to start MS Query by double-clicking MSQRY32.EXE apart from the
display blinking MS Query does not open. Task Manager both in applications &
processes does not show that it is running.

How can I get MS Query to run to create a New Database Query?
