Will Office 2000 work on new computer with XP operating system?

[Mldav]

I have a new computer with Windows XP (Home) installed and an older copy of
MS Office 2000 (Professional). Can I load Office on the new operating
system? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of Office? MS Office 2000
has all of the bells and whistles I need for a home computer.

Yes, you can install it on your new computer, no problem. I have Office 2000
Pro on both XP Home and Pro.

I have an IBM Thinkpad X31 and having freshly installed XP Home I wanted to
install Office 2000 Professional. This has failed with a pop-up asking me to
insert the XP Professional SP2 CD which I don't have. Why would it ask for
this? I have installed this previously on my desktop which has XP
Professional with no problems. What is wrong?

Have you installed SP 2 on this machine? If not, do it and then try
installing Office.

I have successfully installed Office 2000 Pro on my Win XP SP2 laptop. However "Office 2000" does not appear anywhere - only INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS (Word, etc.). Is this a problem ?

There's no folder under Program Files called Microsoft Office?

trying to install my Office 2000 Pro, the installation program will not accept my product code ... how do I install it? I've switched from 2000 to XP

Hi mbNorski,

The Word 2000 product key appears on its CD case. It is not the same as the Windows XP product key.
