I can't install Office 97 SBE on my new Win XP Pro environment. .

I've installed Win XP Pro on my new computer, but I can't install Office 97
Small Business Edition. Is there a compatibility issue? I insert the
Office97 SBE CD into my ROM drive, but it just spins and spins.

No, it probably means the disc is either dirty, or too scratched to be read.
Try burning a copy (sounds crazy, but it often works). If that doesn't work,
then try eBay. MS no longer supports, and, therefore, has no replacement
media for, Office 97.
