| I got it to run fine on Windows 2000 Professional.
|
| But I must note that I no longer use Office 97 as I installed Office
| 2003.
|
|
| You might want to try setting up Compatibility Mode for Windows XP
| and then enabling it on each individual Shortcut to an Office 97
| Application.
|
|
|
| To enable Compatibility Mode for any application/program on Windows
| XP, take a look at the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles:

|
| If that fails to work, go out and purchase Office 2000, Office XP, or
| Office 2003.
