Re: slow Office97
According to the official system requirements, XP IS NOT a supported OS. That doesn't mean that it won't work, just that MS can't guarantee that it will work reliably and will work optimally. In short what jephree and I are trying to tell you is that Office 97 is too old and should be upgraded. Also like mentioned SR-1 must be installed first. If you just recently installed SR-2b & hadn't installed SR-1 that could explain why you are now having problems.
If XP is not officially supported then I can't see why other sites can claim that it is supported on XP, after all they didn't write Office 97 nor did they write the service release or even have the source code.
