Problems with XP

[Guest]

Office uses ACCESS '97 as the database for our business system. When we
tried touse the Office '97 on the new XP computer every time we went ot open
a file the computer just rebooted and gave us an error message. We then
purchased Office Pro 2003. Now we can't use the Business system in '97. I
tried installing only Office 2003 without ACCESS and then installing '97. It
tells me I don't have a license for '97. Unfortuantley as a small non profit
we only upgrade a little at a time. Evveryone else is using windows '98.
Any suggestions. We call MS and didn't get much help the tech support didn't
know what to do.
