Well, it will happen to all of us!
My hard drive crashed. Unfortunately, I did not have a
PowerPoint backup. I do have the original CD for Version
2002, but it is the Upgrade version.
I used this software for a long time but in my wisdom (?),
I failed to backup the PP Folder.
Now that I have to start all over, of course the system
will not install unless I have a previous version.
Yes I know, use the previous version CD and it will take
off... but after a couple of house moves, I only had the
latest CD (upgrade).
What on earth could I do? Help!
I am using Win XP.
 
Go to eBay and see if you can pick up a copy of Office 97 or Office 2000 or
PowerPoint standalone 97 or 2000. Any of those would give you a qualifying
product for upgrading. Oh, and never throw away CD's. <G>
