So I’m trying to install several programs that used to work GREAT on Windows 98. I drop the cd into the drive, hit the glorious INSTALL button and … and … nothing. The wonderful little hourglass goes away and it’s as if nothing was ever initiated. Is this XP rejecting the software???
I’ve been able to load other programs [ PageMaker, Corel ] successfully onto this system. I’m relatively new to this particular computer; I’m moving into my new job and getting this office computer ready. Programs that are failing include Microsoft Works 99 (I know, I know, but you’d be surprised how many people still use it and give me files created with Works.) and Adobe Acrobat 4.0.
Interestingly enough, Works and Acrobat load successfully on my XP computer at home.
So, why do SOME programs load successfully, while others don’t, on this office computer? I’m suspecting AGE of the software, but not sure.
