I had an evaluation copy of XPpro running w/ Office 97, everything working fine. When the eval. period was close to expiring I purchased an upgrade edition of XPpro and installed it. Everything went pretty well except Office apps are locking up. Tried uninstalling Office and reinstalling, still having problems. Any suggestions?

Right click on each executable for office (ig winword.exe for Word97)and select compatibility. Set each app to run as Win2000 or Win98.

I tried your suggestion and it helped a little (I think) but what seemed to do the trick was updating the findfast index. Anyway, thanks for the info.
