What is likely to be the cause (and solution) for MS Access 2000 databases that will not run on an English OS or on a Japanese OS, and an English Office version?

Question

My company has a few legacy MS Access 2000 databases used for project based data, 2 of these databases do not work on the English installation of MS Access 2000. And from what I hear, at least one of the two, will not work from the English OS.

I am becoming fairly handy in MS Access out of necessity more than anything, but am hoping someone has already come across this issue, and can pinpoint what I could do to fix the problem (assuming its a trivial fix).

Many thanks! Stuart
