Can't re-install Office 97 in windows xp after a system restore

J

jan

I had to do a basic system restore to my Windows XP system to get rid of a
corrupted file. When I try to reload my Office 97 Prof. Ed, I get an error
message, htmlmarq.ocx unable to register itself. How do I load this?

Most users report problems installing Office 97 when Service Pack
2 for Windows XP is installed. If you get an "htmlmarq.ocx could
not be registered" error when installing Office 97, you might try
one of three workarounds:
1. You could uninstall WinXP SP2, install Office 97 and
related service packs, and reinstall WinXP SP2. This method is
not possible if your version of WinXP comes with SP2 preinstalled.
2. You could leave WinXP SP2 intact, and do a custom
installation of Office 97 in which you set the Web Authoring
Tools (HTML) to "not available" in the setup options. Obviously
this method disables all of the web authoring tools in Office 97,
but there are other (arguably better) web authoring programs
available.
3. Start regedit. Navigate to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi­crosoft\Window
sNT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options" key. Modify the
two .ocx files whose names start with HTMLm from .ocx to .old .
Exit and reboot. Note that this third method is not endorsed by
Microsoft, and reportedly works for some people but not for others.
