We are using Office 2000, but have a large database that was created in
Access 95. I tried to convert it when we upgraded, but it wouldn't work
so we have kept Access 95 on our computers. Access 95 installation is on
diskettes. I tried to run the installation disks on a computer with xp
home service pack 1 (have not installed the service pack 2 yet) and the
installation would not run.

Does anyone know if I can install this with xp and if so, what steps do
I need to do?
Thank you.
 
Try installing it using the Compatibility Wizard.
