I have a Dial-up connection; I changed my ISP at July, 1, 2001 and I’m very satisfied (compared to the former ISP). at July, 16 I’ve installed a kit of Microsoft Office XP (licensed), with voice recognition and handwriting recognition features. As Iknow, installing Office XP on Windows 98 Second Edition (my OS version) begins with installing some components of Windows XP.
So, now the behaviour is as follows: the hard disk which hosts the OS works alll the time; my line have frequent disconnections, which are reported on the account of the peer modem (is that the modem of my ISP?); during the connections, there are extremely frequent timeouts, like I have a pulsatory connection.
I think all this is because the components Windows XP installed by Office XP. I wish to reinstall my Windows 98 SE, but I fear I’ll need to reinstall Office XP; what will be behaviour of that damned Activation Procedure? (I like Office XP, so I wish to use it normally).
Does someone know something about this behaviour of the Windows OS ?
