Need Help Installing Office 2003

I purchased Office Professional 2003 and when I attempt to install it, I am
informed that I need a newer version of Windows. The System Requirements for
the Office disk states that it requires Windows XP or Windows 2000 with
Service Pack 3 or later.
I have Windows Millennium and when I try to install Service Pack 1, 2, or 3
- I receive a message that states, "The W2KSP2(1)EXE file is linked to
missing export NTDLL.DLLstrstr." Another box then opens that states,
"Windows can not access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I am the only user of my computer and should have no user restrictions.
Please provide guidance on these issues. Thanks.

Hi Virgina,

Unfortunately Windows ME (Millenium Edition) is a derivative
of Windows 98 (although it's called 'Millenium' it's not
directly related to the Windows 2000 version)
Windows ME won't support MS Office 2003.
MS Office has a 30 day return policy from MS.
MS Office XP, the previous version, will work on Windows ME
