Yes. Beware, however, that IBM does not intend to release a Vista-compatible version of the SmartSuite. You should consider switching to a new IBM office suite, IBM Lotus Symphony.

Not Nativity but I have had a lot of success getting older programs to run on XP by right clicking on Compatibility mode and selecting another OS. Try Windows 2000 first and work your way back if that doesn't work. You may want to chance your resolution as well.

Yes it is compatible with xp. I have installed it on both a xp computer and a vista computer and it runs really well. If you are having trouble installing it what I would recommend is checking to see if the computer can run the installer in a capability mode. This is a feature often included with new computers

If you are using Lotus SmartSuite 9. 7, yes but no. According to the IBM website, your softoware version 9. 7 is "compatible" but problematic. Upgrade to ver 9. 8

Technically yes, but the OS far exceeds what the Lotus Smartsuite 97 is capable of processing effectively. It's best to downgrade the OS in this particular case.
