Re: Cannot load office 97 & Publisher 98 from the discs "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" <jl_paules[ at ]hotNOSPAMmail.com> 14.07.2006 23:00:57 Because that version of Office came with another computer, you cannot install them on another computer. You need to purchase a full retail version of Office. Since those versions are ancient, you'll have to get Office 2003. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "rocketrod1" <rocketrod1[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6753EB1C-124E-4DCD-BD94-17F84674DBF5[ at ]microsoft.com...

Can you double-click the setup icon? It would seem strange both disks are bad, you maybe having a drive issue. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "rocketrod1" <rocketrod1[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6753EB1C-124E-4DCD-BD94-17F84674DBF5[ at ]microsoft.com...
