Access crashes when adding linked tables to query grid

I am trying to create a new query using 3 linked tables. As soon as I
add the third table to the design grid Access crashes.
I have looked in the newsgroup and find that there have been problems
with linked tables and Access 2000 but the threads are dated about 3
years ago.
I am running XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP1 and Access 2002
(10.2627.2625).
I have checked on the Microsoft Upgrade site and although upgrades are
available they all seem to be about security and don't mention linked
table problems.

Any help would be appreciated.
