The problem is with my father's computer, actually, and as I won't be out there 'til the weekend I can't tell you word for word what the "message" is. All I can say is, it's the same message that has come up for programs that are incompatible with Vista. My father tried installing his older version of Microsoft Works Suite, which seemed to install, but when opening any of the programs associated with the Suite, he gets "this program has stopped responding, search for a solution online and close the program, or close the program". This is the same message that now comes up when I start up his computer, but regarding Microsoft Office, even though I did uninstall the trial version of the software, and it comes up automatically before opening any program.
Somebody else suggested a couple of things to try. I'll try those first on Sunday, and if they don't work I'll get back to you with the "exact" error message.
Thanks for all your help.
