Office 2003 Student Edition

[HZ]

Just purchased this for my son's new computer and wanted
to install it on my daughter's 2 year old system. Got back
a message that the system -- Windows ME - won't support
it. This seems incredibly wrong to me that I should need a
new operating system (XP) for a system that's only 3 years
old. Any ideas, short of upgrading to XP?

Oh dear, another eejit who's completely incapable, or cannot be bothered, to
read the system requirements. it *CLEARLY* states that it *requires*
"Windows 2009 SP3 (or later), Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server".

So, no, you have no choice but to upgrade your daughter's system to XP - or
purchase a copy of Office XP STE, which is the last version that will run
under a 9x-based OS.

Take it back and purchase Office XP Student Edition. Office 2003 will ONLY
run on Windows 2000 (with at least SP3) and WindowsXP systems... Oh and
Windows 2003 Server as well!

If the store will not take it back, Microsoft will.
