Should I uninstall Office 97 and start the installation of Office

Office 97 Where did that come into the picture. Your original post
mentioned Office 2007 and XP (containing Outlook 2002)

I would be quite happy with Office XP if Outlook 97 will install and
run properly.

Why would you want to mix versions like that? Besides, Outlook 97 cannot be
used with many of today's ISPs because they require SMTP authentication and
Outlook 97 cannot do that.
