Installing Office 97 on Win 98

[dainamae]

Hello,

I have a laptop that has 2 partitions, and Win 98. When I install Office 97 onto this computer, a msgbox comes up telling me that the setup could not add a line to the Autoexec.bat file, and that I should add it. So I did (it points to the folder where Office resides). Now, I have a problem where I cannot open any Office programs without drilling down in Windows Explorer to the .exe file. I have no problems with the programs when I do open them with the .exe file, but when I try to open them with shortcuts, I get "There is not enough free memory" errors and the programs do not open. I have no other programs open and minimal items running. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Ok, I followed your instructions, removed all temp files, Internet Temp Files, scanned my hard drive, and defragged it. Now instead of the "Not enough memory" error, I get a "System Error, there is not enough memory to run this program, please close all other programs...", etc. I can still open each of the Office programs if I drill down, just not from the shortcuts.
