Hi Ruby,
Please read the Microsoft KB article # 172475 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;172475 Limitations of Updating Office 97 with the Patch You can use the downloadable patch to update configurations installed from the following sources: Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition for Windows (CD and floppy disks) Microsoft Office 97 Standard Edition for Windows (CD and floppy disks) Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition for Windows (CD and floppy disks) Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows (CD and floppy disks) Microsoft Word 97 for Windows (CD and floppy disks) Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows (CDc and floppy disks) Microsoft Access 97 (CD and floppy disks) Microsoft Outlook (CD and floppy disks) You cannot use the patch to update the following installations of Office 97: Administrative installations To update an administrative installation, you must create a new administrative installation point by using the SR-2 Replacement CD. When you run Setup from this version of Office, use the /a switch with the Setup command again, for example, type the following: setup /a Run From CD-ROM installations To prevent problems that may occur because of mismatched dynamic link library (DLL) files, you cannot use the patch to update a Run From CD installation. If you attempt to update this kind of installation by using the patch, the following error message appears: Microsoft Office 97 SR-1 has detected that office is running from a CDROM drive...cannot continue. Run From Network Server installations Because you cannot use the patch to update an administrative installation, you cannot update a Run From Network Server installation. If you attempt to update this kind of installation by using the patch, the following error message appears: You are running from a network drive. SR-1 Patch does not support this... aborting. Installations in which shared programs are stored on a network server You cannot use the patch to update a post-administrative installation in which you installed Office 97 from a network server, and the shared programs run from the network server. However, you can use the patch to update this kind of installation if the shared programs run on the local computer. Note When you use the patch, the updating process may not be completed on computers running some configurations of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. For the patch to work successfully, Service Pack 2 or later must be installed on a computer running Windows NT 4.0. Additionally, if NT File System (NTFS) is being used, the user must have administrative privileges to the computer. Please let me know if i can be of further assistance... Thank You... Raghu...
