MS Access Crashing

I am going absolutely crazy trying to figure this out. Every time that I try to import Excel data into Access, I get the error 'Microsoft Access has stopped working.', it crashes and restarts Access. This happens in existing databases and brand new ones. I have tried all the 'Compact and Repairs' and everything else I can find on Google. I have even completely removed Office and reinstalled it. Still crashes. I HAVE to get this solved. I am working on a major project and will soon be to the point where I have to flush the testing data and import the real stuff. The problem is... I can't import ANYTHING. 

It also happens when I try to use various 'wizards'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Jeff

    I'm seeing it whenever I try to import data into Access 2016 from the External Data tab on the ribbon, regardless of file format.  If I open the same mdb in  MS-Access 2013, I can import the same data without incident. 

    Unlike many folks, I am running the 64-bit version of Office to allow for compatibility with other non-Microsoft applications required for my job.
