office 95 on an XP system

I for some reason cannot install office 95 onto my new PC with XP (home). I
get an error that says "system is not suitable for running MS DOS and MS
windows applications" and reference to an AUTOEXEC.NT file

can anyone advise?

thanks

Does the error message say "The system is not suitable..." or "The
system file is not suitable..."

If the error messages says "The system file is not suitable..." does it
mention "config.nt", "autoexec.nt" or "command.com"?
