Why won't the file Htmlmarq.ocx register properly in the registry?

[Allen]

I just purchase an original full install cd of Office 97 Professional and the
install goes great until the last thing and then I get the message that
Htmlmarq.ocx was unable to register itself in the system registry.
Why won't this file complete this task properly?

Thanks for your reply,
Allen Skaggs

If you are installing on a Windows XP SP-2 machine, the enhanced security in
SP-2 disables this file from working. Use groups.google.com to research the
many previous threads on this matter and workarounds.

PS, purchasing an almost 10 year old software title is not the best use of
funds. OpenOffice.org is vastly superior to that version of Office.
