368783 2005-07-02 22:49:00 When I set up my laptop with Windows XP I opted not to install Word and Excel 2000 as I preferred to stay with my Word 97. So, I installed Word and Excel 97 from my CD and it runs well. But when I click on a Word or Excel email attachment icon the machine does not open Word 97 or Excel but tries to install Word or Excel 2000. How can I make it recognise the versions I have installed?
