Running office 97
Hi there I was wondering if anybody knows if I can run my copy of office 97 on a machine that is running Windows 2000 or XP?
My old laptop died and I will eventually need to replace it but I didn't want to spend any money on new office software if I can avoid it!
Many thanks,
Hufty.

Office 97 was a corker - think the SBE edition also had MS Publisher too. Might still have a copy somewhere.
As has been said, absolutley no probs whatsoever running with XP or its' brethren. It may be a bit old, but providing you enjoy working in Latin, you should be fine...

No probs - runs fine
Best to install the service releases - SR1 and SR2B
If you can't get 'em pm me and we'll make a plan.
PS: Have you considered using OpenOffice - http://www.openoffice.org/ - instead? It's free, actually more powerful than Office 97 and very compatible.
