Does Windows XP hate Office 97?

Posted: 13 Oct 2004 12:02 PM PDT


Windows XP SP2 patch does hate Office 97!! You need to uninstall SP2 first, then install Office 97 then re-install SP2. This is the only way to circumvent M$ forcing you to buy their latest incarnation in the name of Office 2003.

Hope this proves useful.

Is there an Office Tool Bar

For those of you who do not know:

The Office Update site
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx) only supports
Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003 products.

In other words, you WILL NOT see updates for Office 97, Office 95, Office
4.3, Office 4.2, or anything older.

More info:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010402221033.aspx#langSupport




For Office 97/98 updates, go the "Downloads for Office 97/98" section on the
Office Updates site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/CD010224961033.aspx


For updates to older versions of Office (Office 95, Office 4.3, Office 4.2,
or older), try searching the Microsoft Download Center at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en

Unable to install Office 2003 SBE on Windows XP SP2

Posted: 12 Oct 2004 01:19 PM PDT

To Repair Install (Win XP) read instaructions on the website of our Resident Expert:

http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

This should remove SP2 completely from your system (unless you use Slipstreamed Windows XP SP2 CD). Just use your original CD (or SP1 edition CD).

Then install Uncle Bills Office 2003 SBE; Then SP2.

Hope this technique works.

upgrading office trial edition 2003 to professional edition 2003

DL you are talking rubbish. You don't have to uninstall anything. Just follow the instructions given in these articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328874

http://www.petri.co.il/change_the_serial_in_windows_xp.htm

The second link also contains instructions to change Office Serial number specifically.

Hope this helps.

Hi Debra,

Use the telephone activation method to speak to a MS
technician and explain your situation.

I bought Office: Student and Teacher Edition 2003, It dosen't allow me to
activate it more than three times. I've already done that because I've had a
lot of trouble with my computers, it was erased once when we had our computer
fixed and then we bought new ones. I was needing to know if there was any
way of activating it with out having to buy a new Office, because it was
nearly $150. Do you know of a way? >>
