You may wish to try using XP's Program Compatibility Wizard.

Hi Carey,

I haven't yet bought XP in order to use the wizard.

Hi Carey - O.K.,

but it's a pretty straightforward question, and as much an XP one as an
Office one - I'd say about 50/50 !

I'll re-phrase it: anyone out there successfully using Office 95 with XP
Home?

Cheers

I have read from others that Microsoft Office 95 can be
successfully installed in Windows XP by using XP's
Program Compatibility Wizard and using the Windows
95 compatibility mode to install it.
