Incompatibility Message at installation

[DennisMc]

I have Microsoft Office 97 and a version of Office that came installed on my
computer at purchase (version unknown). I loaded Office 97 on my computer
with no problem, but when attempting to install it on my son's computer, I
got the message "Windows/System32/Autoexec.NT is not compatible for MS Dos or
Microsoft products" (not the exact phrase, but something close to that). I
have Windows XP on both computers with service pack2 on mine, but not on my
son's computer. I also attempted to load the version of Microsoft Office
that came with my Dell computer (Dimension 9300), on my son't computer
(Dimension 2300) but got the same message. What is the problem? It gives me
a box with two button choices (one to close the program and another to
ignore) but clicking on either button does absolutely nothing and the program
won't install. Help please???

You are attempting to load Office in a manner that is not supported in
addition to your error message.

Read your EULA - Office is a single person license, not a Parent, Child
license. Additionally, the version that comes with your purchased PC can
only be used on that PC, not any other, even if that PC dies.
