I messed up

Someone gave me two computers faster than the one I alaready had. I put the
hard drive of one computer into another computer. The hard drive I installed
had Microsoft Office 97 while my normal computer had Microsoft 2000. I wanted
to wipe out the hard drive that had the Office 97 software on it so I copied
the files to my normally used hard drive that had the Office 2000 on it
because I needed the PowerPoint software for speaking engagements but I had
never been about to afford to buy it. Now I went to update the 97 software
and it says it doesn't exist. How do I use the 97 software so that it is
recongnize on my computer so that I will have the PowerPoint software and
then upgrade it with my 2000 software?

I can't quite follow what's going on on your end and what all exactly you're
trying to do, but the upshot is you need the install CDs. You can't just
move program files from one harddrive to another and expect the program to
work -- there are registry entries and all kinds of other changes that
happen when you actually install software, which is what you need to do. And
to do that, you need the install CDs.

If you're using the Office 2000 Upgrade and are being asked for a qualifying
product, you can insert the install CDs for the qualifying product when
prompted. If you've been using Office 2000 Upgrade anyway on your usual
system, then you had to have a qualifying product of some sort in order to
install the 2000 Upgrade in the first place.
