Event 3051 and Microsoft database Jet engine

[Ellis]

I woke up yesterday morning and couldn't launch Eudora.
Got an error message that referred to my database. Tried
reinstalling it, overwriting WindowsXP (don't have
a "restore" disk from the OEM), tried opening other
programs. Quicken wouldn't even try to open. Other
programs produced error messages referring to Event 3051
and the Microsoft database Jet engine and said that each
database related to the specific program was either
already open or access was denied and suggested I try
another. I do so to no avail. I'm dead in the water
without wiping the drive and re-installing Windows, unless
someone elso has had some experience with this kind of
problem. Help!

A copy of the Error Report would be helpful.

Look in Event Viewer at the logged errors.

1. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click =
Administrative Tools, double-click Event Viewer and select System for =
system errors or Application for application errors. Look for Error in =
the Type column and double click on Error to reveal a Description of the =
error. This can be copied by using Clipboard Viewer (see later).

2. Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you =
should double click for further information and you can copy using copy =
and paste.

(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

3. For some errors you will find "+ Related Knowledge Base Article", =
which if double clicked takes you to the Knowledge Base Article =
containing a suggested solution.

There always seems to be a step 2 but not always a step 3.=20

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports (Step 1). Run Event Viewer and =
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window which appears =
is a button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close =
Event Viewer. Now start your message ( email )and do a paste into the =
body of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer =
Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the =

Thanks so much for the help. I don't know whether it will
provide the answer; but you've opened up new vistas for me
to explore.

Gary, none of this seems of much help. A 1000 error is, I
surmise, a pretty generic sort of fault.

The "3051" reference to the Microsoft Jet engine would be
the most significant clue, so far. But I can't find
anything about it that seems at all germane.
