Re: Running Office 2000 or Office XP on Windows Vista


I 've installed Office 2000 on Vista and it seems to run OK, EXCEPT,
Outlook. Don't even bother installing Outlook. You'll just have to go
back, insert you install disk again and delete. I'm now trying to find a
'work around' to save my Outlook data.

FYI, the Vista machine is a new build. The old machine was a PII-400 with
Win ME. I have had no problems with Vista itself. The problems are with
old peripherals and software. For example the Microtek scanner (EPP
parallel port) won't install. The Brother printer (USB) will print, but it
has lost the functions such as Duplex, toner amount, etc. My PaperPort
V5.3 won't work. I bought V11 and it does install, but importing my 5.3
data is a nightmare.
