Known Problems on Windows NT4.0/95/98/ME

 

The bottom line is "Office XP does not include Global IME but Windows XP does." It is much wiser for Windows 95/98 users to buy a new computer with Windows XP pre installed than to use Office XP on Windows 95/98. Do you really want to go through all these hassles on your old machine?
