problem installing ms office professional

[auborn]

My pc came with ms office97 for small business.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am trying to install ms office professional so I can use access.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything<br>seems to install ok but when I try to run access I get the message that I do not have<br>the correct licencse for access. Any thoughts?

Uninstall both small business and professional. Reinstall professional. <p> <br><a href=mailto: dreamboat@nni.com> dreamboat@nni.com</a><br><a href=

In between installs, (that's the way it goes, isn't it)...after an uninstall...I'd dig into the Registry and delete all keys referring to the apps except the ones in the legacy definitions.&nbsp;&nbsp;There's something (obviously) left behind from the unistall that's contradictory to the new license information.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe a further registry sweep with regclean.exe (downloadable freebie from MS)would help, too. <p>cadman2<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>( : &gt;[ )

I a somewhat a novice at installing Microsoft Office. I have<br>this problem: I followed instructions on reinstalling after a problem that someone repairing my computer reformatted my hard drive. I had most files back-up but that is not my present problem <br>I would like to go to Microsoft Explorer and locate my Word and Excel under the Microsoft folder, but they are not there. I cannot find them in the Office folder. How can I get them into the office folder. I want to go to Explorer and see the various drives. If I want to copy a file from drive to another, I want to drag and drop it into the correct folder. HOW DO I SET THAT UP? PLEASE BE SIMPLY SPECIFIC. THANKS.
