Re: Can't install Acces 97 or Office 97 on Windows XP.

Well...
I have never tryed to install Office 97 on XP before but I have tyryed
different setups-CD's and so on. But nothing solve my isue... This is
strange, and I think it has everything to do with XP-SP2. As all other
problems on this machin has to do with that. But ofcourse I may have wrong
about that. But I don't think I have that.

Hope there is ANYONE here that could help me..
Microsoft perhaps????? ;)
