using Works 4.5

[Guest]

`I am trying to load Microsoft Works 4.5. I have a brand new CD that I have not used. I am trying to load on a newer computer I ave running Windows 2000 Professional. The program will NOT allow me to load it. The message says that there isn't enough space, although there is a great deal of unused space. Is there some incapability with Works 4.5 in Windows 2000 Professional? Is there some patch I need or what is the problem? My version of 4.5 is old. It says it is from 1997-1998. Please give me any assistance you can.

Thank You!!!!!!!

If you have any other MS Office apps, eg Word, you could have problems if
you install the earlier version of Works.
If you still need to go ahead try copying the entire cd to yr hd, then
installing frm there.
Whether there are compatibility probs with Win2K I dont know, but I would'nt
think any patches are available now, for an App of this age
