| 223094 | 2004-03-17 06:02:00 | Using Toshiba Satellite A10 notebook 2.4ghz, 256MB ram, 40GB Hard Drive, new.No software added, only OS WinXP Pro Version Service Pack 1 and Norton's Antivirus 2004. Want to load Word from MS Office97 Small Business Edition. Scared of crashing system. Can't afford new Word. Want to hear from people succeeding and how they did it. Thank you for reading this |

| 223095 | 2004-03-17 06:12:00 | I run Word 97 on one PC here, under XP. It installed fine and runs fine. Are you saying you are too scared to try, or that it fails to install? |

| 223096 | 2004-03-17 06:26:00 | I have Office 97 (which includes Word) running perfectly fine on WinXP Home. Just remember to set a restore point before loading the program. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 223097 | 2004-03-17 07:21:00 | Thank you Grandfather for your very accurate psycho-analysis. Answer is both. Obviously a 'cup-half-full' chap. Good on you. I'm feeling much more confident now. And thank you also Oxie. Excuse my ignorance though, but question 1. is -what exactly is a restore point ? (new kid on the block here) and my question 2. is - will it work on my hair as well as on the computer (just kidding. My grey patches are as common as Microsoft's.) |

| 223098 | 2004-03-17 07:29:00 | I have Office 97 installed on my Win XP Home with no problems whatsoever. In fact I have Office 97 and Office XP SBE installed as well in completely separate folders from each other so that they don't fight like competitive siblings. You should have no problems whatsoever installing your Office software but for reassurance make sure you set a restore point first, as mentioned in a previous post. |

| 223100 | 2004-03-17 07:34:00 | A restore point is a snapshot of your system at the point in time when the restore point was created . This means that should things go belly-up you can revert to the last restore point and (hopefully) put your computer right again . To create a restore point go to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore and follow the Wizard to create the restore point . To roll back if necessary, choose the Restore option . Tip: You can find more information by going to Start>Help and Support and typing in Restore Point . :-) |
