I have a new laptop running Win7 Home Premium. I also have another (older) laptop running the same. The problem is that although both are 64bit, the older one loaded and runs Office 2000 quite happily, but the newer one says it's incompatible!
Has anyone tried installing office 2000 after windows 7 install followed by office 2007 upgrade? I know there is a compatibility issue with office 2000, but will the upgrade still work?
Is MS Office 2000 compatible with Win7 32 bit? I have read that Outlook may have a problem but what about MS Word, Excel, and PP?Also, is a Win7 32 bit upgrade worthwhile (from XP) now that Win8 is in the pipeline?
I have just installed office 2000 on a computer with windows 7. However, everytime I try to use outlook it begins with a startup wizard. Any idea how I can prevent this?
I have been using MS Office 2000 professional with Windows 7 (64 bit) and have no problems with it except the following that has cropped up a short time ago.MS Word in MS Office 2000 Professional has a function "Send to" and up to recently I could use the function to send a MS Word document via Windows Live Mail. Now however on my desktop a mail program called "Foxmail" is shown up but Windows Live Mail is missing while on my laptop no email program is shown. In both cases the "Send To" function shows as being able to send to a fax recipient or to MS Powerpoint.I use Windows Live Mail as my regular email program and would like to use it with MS word. Should it work and if so, how do I remove Foxmail and add Windows Live Mail to my Desktop and just add it to my Laptop?
My question concerns Microsoft Office 2000 and Windows 7 compatibility. Windows 7 isnt compatible with Office 2000. In a new system build with Windows 7, would a second operating system (Windows XP) on a separate partition or disc drive get around the compatibility issue?
I purchased a new laptop with windows 7 and had all my files from my old desktop transfered. I've tried to install Microsoft 2000 so I can use my files but whenever I click on a file, I get the following message, "required registry information is missingand this application cannot run. rerun setup to correct this problem". The first time around I was asked for the 25 digit product key which I did type in. Now when I re-insert disc #1 nothing happens.
I have Office 2000 and I like it, I moved it over to my new Windows 7 laptop and moved all my Word docs over and now I can't do a thing with my word files - they are all read only.
I do not have the new laptop on, it is an expensive paper weight at the moment. None of my XP software works. I loaded MS XP Mode, I was able to load Office 2000, neither Outlook or outlook express work and I dispise MS Mail and all web based mail. None of my CAD programs worked in XP mode. Note: Acer does not have the hardware support. I removed MS XP Mode. Loaded VMware Player with XP Pro,loaded all my programs, copied my old HDD to new files in virtual machine. Setup Office 2000 Outlook and outlook express work perfect as does all office 2000. Cad programs work (or so I thought) I wasted 3 hours designing a generator room in one of my cad programs and all was well till I tried to create a new file on the virtual drive and was unable to. Tried to save my drawing to any file, was not allowed.
Spent the rest of the day re-drawing the generator room on old laptop. Tried all of the things on setting up networking the drives and folders, was still unable to create new file folders or save any new cad files. There is nothing wrong with this old laptop, it is just 6 years old and found a great deal on the Acer. Tried to load XP on a new HDD, that failed (somewhat) after loading and looking at the properties, many drivers were not working. It seems all MFG's are looking to MS to develop their drivers.What else can I try to get XP Mode to work like XPI can not afford to upgrade all my programs and with that, none of my old files would be usable.I use several cad programs daily at the same time as I work on several projects at the same time, plus I do all my own quotes and PO's and send to vendors, plus receive in everything. I have to be able to create new files and save everything I do where I want toThis is also the first time I have used a new OS so soon. I usually give it a few years.I went from 95 2nd Ed to XP all was smooth. Stayed away from ME and Vista like the plague
Upgrading to windows 7 has been both a blessing and a frustration. A good number of my programs are deemed not compatible and I have to go through a curious procedure every time I boot up one of these programs. Particularly, I use an ocr program, and a graphics program quite regularly. But every time I have to put up with the same process before I can run them. On the other hand, the manufacturers claim that their program is compatible with windows 7. Has anybody else been having this problem, or is it my ignorance that is at play here.
I recently built a new computer and everything i try to install besides video and motherboard drivers say they aren't compatible. I've never seen anything like this before. Whenever I try to install winrar, it says its not compatible and tells me to check whether my os is 32 or 64 bit, when it clearly says it is 64 in my "my computer" properties..
I have a simple Dell Photo Printer 720 wich has worked fine with Windos XP. I now understand that there is no driver available to make this printer work with windows 7. Does anyone know how to work around this problem or do I have to junk my printer and chalk it up to "progress"
I am upgrading my vista 32 install to Win 7. During the setup, the compatibilty report originally told me that Trend Micro Internet Security 2009 and Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 are preventing the upgrade.
I uninstalled Trend Micro 2009, as it's the only program I have on my computer and I've deleted all (I believe) references to it, yet the upgrade won't continue, because Trend Micro 2008 is preventing it.
Is there a reference somewhere that I could check?
I got a second hand computer with a mother board good enough to run windows 7. The sound card (do you still call it a sound card if it is on the motherboard?) gives out a very faint distorted sound. I thought this was a duff sound card so accepted it.Recently I got a window telling me the sound card wasn't set up properly, did I want it set up ? I pressed FIx and after a short while got a box up saying there was no driver for this card on windows 7.Is there any way I can get round this and perhaps use a driver for another version of windows?I have tried various helps including Microsoft and been told to click on the driver I have put on the desktop and do various things with it (or something like that, I can't find the window again) I havn't got a driver ?I can't afford another computer.I managed to download a piece of software advised elsewhere on this site and got the info that the sound card is realtek ac'97 for via(r) is this a type of sound card?
update II I managed to download and run a driver from an internet site (download cnet) for the realtek ac97 for windows 7 but it has made no difference. I have restarted the computer but the sound from the speakers is the same. Could it still be a software problem or do I have a hardware problem with the sound output?
I have recently upgraded my laptop from XP to 7, only to find that my Linksys Instant wireless card is incompatible with this version of windows.I have tried to trouble shoot the problem using the instructions windows gave me, which included running the setup under windows xp compatibility, but the setup doesn't even run. An ethernet suffices for now but soon i'll be traveling and I'll need the wireless.
I've got a gateway model computer I want to upgrade, but I need a 400W power supply for the card I'm buying, should I be worried about a new power supply being incompatible for any reasons with my computer?
I'm currently doing a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on my 32 bit XP computer, I used the upgrade advisor beforehand and it said a lot of my programs where 64 bit compatable, and a large chunk of them are on my other hard drive (the one im not installing windows 7 on). After the install is finished will they be useable or will I have to reinstall them?
I have a brand new Windows 7 64bit build with a clean install from an Upgrade CD and noticed in BIOS that my 1st boot device must be "Windows Boot Manager" or it asks for the CD. I only have 1 storage device (SSD) in the system and when I look under Disk Management in windows, it shows a 100MB "EFI System Partition" in addition to the primary partition (which is labeled "Boot, Crash Dump, and Primary Partition" - so it seems to have the boot files on it).
As I only have the one non-optical storage device I did not set any partition parameters at install. I Attempted to do a Startup Repair with the windows disc to maybe try and delete the EFI partition and got the "... System Recovery Options is incompatible with the version you are trying to repair" error. Not sure what that is. If Disk Management shows a healthy partition with "Boot" listed as being contained, why can I not select the SSD as boot device #1? I can boot perfectly fine with the Windows Boot Manager listed as boot device #1 and the SSD as #2, however it's not ideal.
I am not able to install microsoft office version 2010 on my windows 7 ultimate x32 bit. It gives an error "that u don't have sufficient permissions to install text on your computer" or something like this.....
I have Win 7/Pro 64 bit, i5 processor, 8 GB RAM.I purchased the 64 bit version of Microsoft Office (via download). Why does the Windows Update list updates to the 32 bit version of Office? Is there any reason to install (or not install) these updates?
Having upgraded my desktop PC to Office 2010, I need to import three seperate letter template files for use in Word. These were lost during the upgrade but are on my laptop, which still runs Office 2003, as .dot type files and I also have them copied to a memory stick. However, I am at a loss as to how and where to save them into the new programme on my desktop PC. If it makes a difference, I should add that I do not use Libraries and have disabled them.
I now have a new problem, before I managed to open 2007 files by opening Office 2010 and then from inside the application choosing to open a file. The problem I have though is if I just try to open an Office 2007 file then I can't open it, and I can't change the default program to open it. How do you get Office 2010 to open all the Office 2007 files such as word, excel etc?
I've recently got a new machine and had copied my old PST file over. Whenever I go to open it I get "File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file C:Users*username*DocumentsOutlook Files*pst file name*"I created a test archive and was able to open that one (same location ) just fine.
Just bought a new laptop with Windows7 64bit installed-my first exposure to Windows7. I had Office 2007 installed on my old Dell 32 bit machine. I had also recently pruchased Office 2010 and installed that on my new machine.Now, when I try to open those 32bit 2007 files with 64bt 2011, Iget an error message that "no picture file is available", or words to that effect. When I try to "open with", the only option displayed is "Microsoft Office" with an icon that looks like a picture file. When I try to browse to the proper office program(Excel, for example), there are none of teh Office suite programs displayed, only "Microsoft Office".I can navigate seperately to the proper progran, Excel, etc., and drag the file into the application, and it opens, and all seems to work OK. I "save as" the proper application file, but it still will not open with double-click on the file name.
I use now MSOffice 2003 but want to upgrade to the Student version 2010 which comes without Access.Does the Access from MS Office 2003 work in tandem with MSOffice 2010
