installing Office 97 Pro in Win XP

[SadExMac]

I had an older version of Office 97 and when I got an new
PC with XP home installed and I tried to install Office
97 Pro i EXPEREINCED MANY OPERATIONS THAT WOULDN'T
FUNCTION (new -message, task, appointment, contact,
journal, note, file manager, print manager) but I could
open new document, office document, Bookshelf, Publisher.
I had Access on my desktop but couldn't open it as a
warning to the efffct that I didn't have a licese on my
PC came up. I can use Word, Excel, and Pinpoint but have
trouble with the address boook.
I've tried installing twice after removing the software
before installing. I am completely confused.
Can anyone suggest what is the problem? Is tere an
incompatibility weith Office 97 Pro and Win XP Pro? Is
there a means of overcoming it?

Office 97 Pro installs on my Windows XP PRo with no problems. Make sure that
you uninstall it first, then run diskclean and then close all running
programs particularly any AV ones before installing
