Hi Eric,

I don't know of any reason why you are having those problems.
Download the following utility from Microsoft, then try uninstalling
Office 97, remove any directories that didn't get unistalled, then
run this Eraser Utility.  It is supposed to do a final cleanup and
completely remove any remaining Office 97 files and registry
entries.

Once you've ran that, then try installing it again.

Best if Luck!
