my office 97 won't work
"Sheba53" wrote in
: There you go I told you I wasn't real smart on the pc side of things, does this mean I will have to buy another office program for my lap top ? oh! what does OEM version mean. thanks again for your patient with me. Your problem ""Htmlmarq.ocx " was unable to register itself in the system registry" is typical of what happens when installing Office 97 on a computer running Windows XP if Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed. There are fixes and work arounds but first, let me say you'd be ahead of the game to get a later version of Office, there are a lot of changes in the newer versions. Here's three methods to get it to install: 1. If your copy of XP doesn't have SP2 pre installed, remove it using add/remove. Then install Office 97, install all the Office 97 updates and then re-install SP2. This is the best but not always possible. 2. If you can't do the above, do a custom install of Office 97 and de- select all the HTML options. This leaves you w/o any of the HTML options so you might want to try this: 3. Open regedit and browse to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options You should see htmlmarq.ocx and htmlmm.ocx separate keys. Rename them to something else, ie. htmlmarq.tmp and htmlmm.tmp. You will now be able to install Office 97, including the HTML option, without incident. This doesn't always work, it didn't for me but if it does the problem is solved! NOTE: The fixes/workarounds above are credited to several different posters, I can't claim any credit for them. Another NOTE: You're still better off to upgrade to a newer version of Office if you can swing the cost. If not you might take a look he http://www.openoffice.org It's free, it will open a very large percent of MS Office files and you might like it. It will cost you nothing to give it a try. |

my office 97 won't work
Office 97 has problems installing on Windows XP SP2. Therefore, if you have anyways to uninstall SP2 then do so othewise you will need Office 2003. You can only uninstall SP2 if your version of XP is Pre SP1 or with SP1 and you installed SP2 manually or using autoupdate. Check in Control panel if there is an entry for SP2 patch. If there is then you can uninstall from there. hth Sheba53 wrote: I have just got a laptop and it won't let me install office 97 even with my cd-code. I have the program on my pc using it for years now with no trouble. I need to use the program for power point on my laptop as I work between the two. help please Diane |
