Microsoft Office 2003

Hello.
So, my sister came back from scotland for the first time in a couple of years. She has a laptop with a copy of Office 97 installed on it. She had bought Microsoft Office 2003 Small Business Edition, the upgrade disc, but the setup couldnt detect the old version of Office 97 on it. The setup needs an old version of Office for the installation to proceed.

Any ideas?

Mucho Gracias,
Michael.

Do you still have the original Office 97 cd? Is the installed copy a valid license?

Yup, I think the origional CD's around somewhere... And yes, it is a valid liscence.

Anyway, I got it sorted, thanks anyway.
