Access 2013

I have several databases developed in Access 2002/2003 which are configured for User Level Security. The Databases work 100% with Access 2010. I have downloaded Office 2013 and installed Access 2013. I successfully opened a tiny database that I use just

to join the workgroup file. I then closed Access and tried to open the same file and now I get the Error 'Cannot open a database with a previous version of your application.' I get the same message with any database I try to open.

I then tried to create a new blank database (accdb) and got exactly the same message but with a further message following it: 'A problem occurred while MS Access was communicating with the ole server or activeX control'

Then... 'Close the OLE Server and restart it outside of the Microsoft Access Database'

Now its not possible to do anything with the database. This is the same on Windows 7/8. Help on this would be greatly appreciated and sorry my text is so long.
