Hey! Play with it a tad (OO) - I had no prob getting it to print an
envelope. Very nice collection!!! Only thing I use now from my MS Office
2000 SBE is Publisher - still like that best for publishing my web site.
But yes, I ran into this same prob when I tried to put up Word97 on SP2 (I
need it to validate my Office2000 Update edition). LOL!!!
   Now my gen route is :
XP
NForce motherboard drivers
intellipoint4
SP1 express
Word97
all my other stuff.................................................
SP2

I take backups though that with Ghost so hopefully I won't have to go back
all the way, but if (when) I get a new mobo, I do it all over! LOL The
things we do for entertainment!!!
