Lisa said:I lost my hard drive!!! Now I have XP and I can't get my computer to read
disk 2 to install. Is it comtatable or do I have to spend more money to
get
another version? Please help me. I may end up going low tech and booting
computer out the window!!
Lisa said:I put in disk one, select word , it asks for disk 2. I put in disk 2, it
starts doing its thing then.... It say that it can't be read through
specified device. I tried both regular and burner drives but no luck. Any
thoughts??? A short drop with a sudden stop out the window would make me
feel
better!!!!

Have you tried cleaning the disk? I know, this sounds silly but you'd be
surprised what a smudge can do.

I'm not qualified to answer *that* question.
I'd suggest trying to load the program on another system. If it doesn't
work, you have a bad disk. If it does work, scratch your head and say "What
the heck is going on here?!"
