Transferring Excel 97 from older computer to Windows XP
I had Excel 97 on an older Compac computer which had
Windows 98 and RAM capacity of 64 MG. I transferred everything to a new Dell computer with 2plus G or RAM. I thought the Excel program would be transferred, but only the files were, so now I have no Excel on my new computer.I contacted Microsoft Customer Service for help and for $35 was told that I had to contact the computer manufacturer, since it was installed on the computer when I purchased it. Is there no other way to do this? I have no Excel CD and would prefer not to spend $200 to buy a new program.Microsoft also gave me a URL that doesn't even exist! Thank you for your help. |

Your best bet would be to go to e-bay and do a search on excel, you can get
a fairly new version, Excel 97 for about 30-50 dollars. "Patti" wrote in message ... I had Excel 97 on an older Compac computer which had Windows 98 and RAM capacity of 64 MG.

I assume you "transferred" using the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" This facility does not transfer program setups AFAIK. If you don't have the original MS Office CD you must make a trip to the software store. Check out Ebay for a deal on Ofice 97 or 2000. If you go this route, make sure there is a licence for the product. If you wish to purchase Office or Excel 2002 go here for details. http://www.microsoft.com/office/programs/default.asp to see the Office products and how to purchase. Office 2003 is soon to be released. Go here for details on upcoming evaluation kits. https://microsoft.order-7.com/mosepreg/ Gord Dibben Excel MVP XL2002 On Sat, 20 Sep 2003 22:43:44 -0700, "David Grode" wrote: -----Original Message----- I had Excel 97 on an older Compac computer which had Windows 98 and RAM capacity of 64 MG.
