Office 2000 is not supported anymore. What is the exact error message aside from D:\ "whatever"
How are you trying to Upgrade your Office 97??

You can start the install of Office 2000 just by itself . No need to install Office 97. When the install starts and it asks you for a qualifying product then you insert the Office 97 as proof.

Uninstall Office 97 and start the Office 200 Upgrade as I posted above.

Also from where did you get the Office 2000 CD from. What does it show on the
label of the Off 2000 CD

I bought MS2000 Standard-Upgrade about 6 mos ago...brand new,
perhaps OEM..can't remember! It advertised that MS WORKS was a valid
program to use for upgrading!

Wrong. It would not accept MS WORKS 4.0, perhaps because or the
year???

So I had to reload MS OFFIVE 97 PRO. Valid OK, but..... when I
loaded MS OFFICE 2000 today, I got an error message, "Cannot Access
File.....D:\ "whatever" from the CD. RETRY? I clicked yes. NOPE!
CANCEL...my only option~

Is the CD bad, or is this a quirk, or can I get a link to contact
someone for a new disk, or is there cure right here on my
desktop/ ?????????????

I think my computer might hate me, ya think?

Thanks for any help I can get.

Mike
