(*&^%$#@! Vista

[Volusianator]

So I'm guessing that Microsoft Office XP isn't compatible with Vista? Damn new laptop has a trial version of Office 2007, so I went to install my Office XP and it won't work as there's compatibility issues. Anybody got any fixes? This is truly bumming me out.:help: :argh: :argh: :argh: :argh:

Seems all my "Trial" software isn't working...... Figures!:cursing:

Thats not true. Im not saying you didn t get that message, but that can't be the reason. I have run Vista with office XP on several machines.
Likley there is a nother cause going on.
If you want to PM me, we can try setting up a remote help session, and I can try to check your machine, but no promises.

I'm not a fan of Office 2007.

I have Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 and not had any troubles myself...

Make sure you uninstall, reboot, then try to install the new Office.

It is taking some getting used to but I really like some of the new features but miss the old set-up/interface.

Uninstall Office 2007 or the Office XP I installed? Admittingly I've not used the 2007 yet, but it looks so much different...I'd just like to use the version I'm comfortable with.

Uninstall both Office versions then reinstall the one you want. Not sure about Office XP and Vista, but 2003 should work fine. I might know someone who can hook you up... :wink:

Man Excel really messed me up with the new menus. opeyes:

I know windows is have a service pack out this quarter and it is suppose to help installation issues....

Here's another solution, ditch the waste of memory Vista and go back to Windows XP. Personally, Vista isn't stable enough yet for me to consider. I'd rather spend my time relearning Ubuntu or another Linux distro than deal with Vista.
