found some dwintl20.dll files on my hard drive, but when I click OK, it won't
accept any. So, it cancels the upgrade installation. Can anyone help? I
have looked everywhere on microsoft support, but cannot find this particular
problem. Thank you.

Well dude...I guess you get what you pay for. And next time when you
post, click on the "I need free tech support that gives me a real
solution and not just comments" button. Looks like you forgot to do that.

1. You mean "site", not "sight".
2. You were given the solution.

You were told several times that you could not use the OEM version as a
qualifying product, you brag about getting it to work? You just
followed the advice given to you or don't you understand that's what
you did?

Anyway, glad it's working now.

I would say that because the copy of Office 2003 that came on your
almost new hard drive is not legally your copy of Office 2003, you
shouldn't try to use it as a qualifying product for upgrade to Office
2007.

I bought the upgrade for my own office version that I have, and installed it
with no problem on my computer; unfortunately, this is the hard drive that
crashed Tuesday. So, rather than buy a new hard drive, I simply used the
hard drive in the extra CPU from the office that was shut down last year. (I
have had to reinstall all of my programs.) Anyway, when I tried to install
the upgrade, I ran into this problem. The only thing I could think of that
would be a problem was that this particular hard drive was in a computer at
an office that was networked. So, I guess my next question is, do you think
I should install my own older version of office that was on the crashed
computer, then uninstall office 2003, then try installing the upgrade again?

Thank you for your help.

I think when you installed that "almost new" hard drive, you should have
formatted the drive and re-installed Windows, Office, etc. just as if
you purchased the drive new from a store.

The older version of Office is also Office Basic Edition 2003. It came with
the Dell computer. I believe we bought both in 2004. I have the original
disks for the crashed computer AND for the hard drive installed now.

Thanks for any help.

If I were in your situation, I would start over...format the drive and
install a fresh OS and a fresh Office. Who knows what other problems you
will encounter later by using a drive from a different PC. In general,
when you move a system drive from one PC to another, you always format
it. It's not worth the potential problems, in my opinion.
