how to setup Office 97 on WindowsXP

[Guest]

I installed Microsoft Office 2003 on my Notebook that uses Windows XP
Professional
SP2. Now I want to remove Office 2003 and Install Office 97. Please help me
why Access 97 cannot run and I got a message: " Microsoft Access can't start
because there is no license for it on this machine".

Fairly common bug caused by a font believe it or not.

See this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article for the solution:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=141373

And same information here:

There is a free download to fix the problem but it only works on Windows 98 I believe.
