There are instances where NaturallySpeaking Deluxe Edition version 2.02 will
encounter problems without the 990KB version of mfc42.dll.
Asked for your comments about a full installation of Microsoft Office 97
causing serious problems with your system I can fully relate. In my case it
wasn't Office 97 but rather Internet Explorer 4.0; I have had enough
problems with installation of Microsoft products in the past that I now make
a habit of doing a complete backup of my system before installing anything
for Microsoft.
