installing Microsoft xp Office standard for students and teachers

[Mark Cerwinka]

Have HP Pavilion with windows 98 and then updated a couple
days to windows 98 second edition. Here's my problem:
when trying to install office xp standard a couple of
error messages come up. 1. sytem lacking "core system
and data access components" and 2. when running the
install program I got the following error
message: "C:\windows\system\ASYCFILT.DLL is version
2.40.4275.1 when we require version 2.40.4277.1" Please
someone tell me what this all means. Do I have to buy
windows 2000 professional or windows XP to make the office
xp for students to run or should I just buy office 97
somewhere and get by? All I want is the basic office
including word, excel, powerpoint. Thanks anyone for
their help.

Hi Mark,

It works on Windows 98 and Win 98SE. See if this
article helps with the error you're getting.
