Remember that some OEM versions do this to keep such from being installed on other than the supplied machine.

I have my computer that had Windows XP on it to my daughter. Now I am trying to load my Office XP on my computer with Windows 98. But an error message keeps popping up stating that I do not have all of the components. Now this computer has not had any downloads lately for updates. Should I try that or can I even load Office XP on Windows 98?
