I just did a clean wipe on my HDD 3 weeks ago, and I had to do a fe
tricks to convince it to install. Office 97 is my 'Starter' Suite
meaning it is the most recent Full Pri$e version from which I mus
start since 2 subsequents are only upgrades.

Just toward the end of installation ((87%) of Office '97 on WinXP SP1
All Current Critical Upddates, their was a catastrophic failure tha
ended the install. I manually copied C:\Program Files\Microsof
Office\*.* from a Backup of Office '97, and everything was hunkdor
except that in Excel, drop-down menus don't drop properly. I'll figur
out how to fix that later. Anyway, it worked well enough to upgrade t
Office 2k Pro.

It is highly recommended that you download and save and implement al
appropriate Office updates before you open any Office progs

Actually if you have 97 and upgraded from that to 2000 and then from that t0 XP,
you dont have to install 97, just put the disk in the drive when your upgrade
looks for the presence of an earlier software.
