A friend is having problems upgrading from word for windows 2c to Word for 
Windows 6.  She is upgrading on a 386sx 20 with heaps of HDD space left and 4mb 
ram.

All the word 2 has been now deleted along with any reference from win.ini.  It 
gets as far as asking for a qualifying version, she then inserts the old 
version 2 install disk 1 and points it to a drive.

From here the install program just stops and refuses to move.

Any suggestions???
