I was tidying up my HDD today, and found two different sets of MS Office 2007 help file directories with 4gb of identical content in each. I ran Windiff(x64) on both dirs; they were completely identical.The directories were located here: "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersMicrosoftHelp Library""C:ProgramDataMicrosoftHelpLibrary".Is there some way I can safely remove one of the dirs?
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?
What is the most effective way to automatically create a regular backup of pst files in Windows 7, Office 2007? I see there is a backup download from Microsoft for XP and VIsta which allowed you to schedule regular backups of pst files but I don't see anything for Windows 7. I don't print all emails and as such it is essential that I don't lose any.
I currently create duplicates and archive one set every 2 weeks. The archive file is backed up by a Backup program, but I am wondering if Microsoft has any features similar to the archive feature where you simply backup the pst file, thus saving email, contacts, calendar at once.
There are strange icons when I am in Windows 7 with Office 2007. I first noticed this when I needed to do a project. Because of the lack of new software, I had to save the file in the doc file format. Then, when I tried to open it to edit it, I noticed that the file icon was not right. It was the blank file icon with the Word 2007 icon on it. Then, I noticed that the rtf files have the correct file icon for doc files. The files can still open, but the wrong icon drives me nuts!
My installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) has two folders listed under my C: drive for Program Files:
Program Files
Program Files (x86)
I realize that the x86 refers to 32-bit programs, but looking inside each folder I come across some redundancy. Here are a list of folders found within both Program Files folders:
Common Files
Internet Explorer
MSBuild
Reference Assemblies
Windows Defender
Windows Mail
Windows Media Player
Windows NT
Windows Photo Viewer
Windows Portable Devices
Windows Sidebar
I was wondering if other users with Windows 7 64-bit have the same redundancies? Tempted to delete the x86, any harm in doing so?
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.
My new computer came with Office 2010 Starter installed. I believe I activated it. Then I installed my last legal version of Office Home 2007. Now neither one seems to be working properly. I probably should have uninstalled 2010 prior to installing 2007. How do I remove 2010 without screwing up 2007?
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?
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.
ALL my office 2007 programs are not responding or verrry slow. My icons for the programs have also disappeared after I had run a take ownership on my computer. The office programs open however become non responsive when trying to save. I cannot run a diagnostic test.I tried uninstalling & i get a message the i need to run as administrator. I am the only user on this computer . I am not keen to run a systems restore as I have done alot of work since the problem started.
Tried vista compatibility mode and getting error 1935 everytime. Seems related to .Net not installed or corrupted. Tried to reinstall .net which is embeded in Windows 7 with no success. In control panel when I try to activate Windows features I am getting another error "Al features where not successfully installed" Will be really happy if I can run a version of Office with W7.
Trying to install Office 2007 Pro. Insert disc click on run exe then click on allow then nothing happens after that. Tried the same disc in a Vista computer and works fine.Temporarily installed a free 2010 Office trial to get by for now. Paid $400 for the Pro a few years ago and would like for it to work on the new computer.
I am rebuilding my system (Dell vostro 410 desktop) after a hard drive crash and installation of a new hard drive. Did a clean install of windows 7 professional 32 bit. Office 2007 will not fully install, excel and power point install cleanly, word will not install properly. I get a notice that installation was successful but when I attempt to open word the program hangs up at the word logo. I can get out by using task manager. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall using control panel. I have used revo uninstall to try a more complete uninstall. I have tried uninstall on the office installation disc. Nothing works. I suspect a corrupted fragment in registry but do not know how to deal with that. I do not feel comfortable mucking about in registry myself.
MS Office 2007 Professional will not install on my freshly-reinstalled Windows 7 system. It does not get past the splash screen 'Setup is preparing the necessary files', but hangs. The summary error message in Event Viewer is as follows:The device, DeviceCDRom0, has a bad block.
There does not seem to be a problem either with the DVD drive or with the actual installation discs; the program installed happily on my other Wiindows XP PC, and the DVD drive seems to be able to read other installation discs satisfactorily.
In about a week, I will be starting my own intro to Windows 7.
It is an enforced introduction as my XP m/c failed on Saturday. I know that I will have some software issues with Photoshop CS2 for example but I am hoping that Office 2007 works OK.
I've just put Windows 7 on laptop and tried reinstalling student version of Office Professional Plus 2007 (which was on there before but with Vista). It gets nearly halfway through installation before it says that it can't find setup.exe and asks me to browse folders to find where it is. I've tried looking but can't find it and so have to abort process.
I am not sure when this happened, but there is no data in the 'Help' links to any of the modules. When I press the "?" help links, either nothing happens at all or a box opens and when I touch 'list the index' it appears on the left, but nothing displays on the answer box on the right. I have tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling - still the same. I,have searched the internet and there does appear to be history on this, but unfortunately none with any resolution to the problem.
I'm looking at a friend's laptop. The HD has many bad sectors and I'll be replacing it. Given the errors on the drive, I'm unable to image or clone it to the new drive as imaging will not complete.The laptop was given to this person. It has Office Enterprise 2007 installed. They don't have the install CDs. I am able to extract the product key with magic jellybean, but my copy of Office is home and student.Will I be able to install from my Office home and student 2007 CD and use their Office Enterprise product key? I know that there are different programs with Enterprise, but I think all they care about is Word and PowerPoint.
I had to re install Windows today, but I seemed to have lost my Key and Disk for Office 2007 (I have the program files in a backup if that will help at all). Basically: am i screwed?My school sells Office 2010 for 20$ (or so I hear), but I have no money and it would be great if I didn't have to fork out cash for new Office software when I already spent over 100$ on it.
I have been running Office 2007 on a Windows 7 machine for 2 plus years with no issues. Just recently I have had trouble launching Outlook or once launched it stops responding. I ran the Office diagnostic tool and it was unable to complete due to a Bootstrap file missing. I tried to reinstall Office using the Repair setting and it failed too.
