| 193181 | 2003-11-19 22:03:00 | Some friends have rushed off and purchased at huge expense Microsoft Office XP Professional. Unfortunately, they overlooked the fact that they their operating system is win98se, and they have no urge whatsoever to upgrade from 98se. Question is, can Office XP pro be coerced into working with 98se? They tell me they get all sorts of messages when trying to load the programme. (Do I try to help or run a mile) :D |

| 193184 | 2003-11-19 22:15:00 | Well, I'm told it is Office XP Pro, but I haven't set eyes on anything yet. They couldn't remember all the messages, but it would seem some messages referred to missing files and the possibility of downloading them off the net. |

| 193185 | 2003-11-19 22:29:00 | www.annoyances.org reviews.cnet.com just some websites that say win98se can run office xp.. but the 2nd one (cnet) mentions that maybe need to update system files...maybe thats what the file downloads were meant to be? (its under heading of "update your system files") so hope its of some help if any :-) |
