    install Office for windows 95

    How do I get Office for windows 95 to install on my Asus Vista operating system. I had it at one time and my computer crashed and I let the repair people reinstall my software. I have office 2007 installed. I have used the old office since it was new and I feel comfortable using it. I use the 2007 office when I need to open something from a newer application. Each time I try to install it hangs up looking for already installed componets.

    Re: install Office for windows 95

    Hello forest and welcome to the forums

    Here are the requirements for Office 95:

    Microsoft Office 95 requires a 386DX or higher CPU, and either Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows NT 3.51. 8 MB of RAM is the minimum for a Windows 95 installation. 28 MB of hard disk space is required for the compact installation, 55 MB for the 'typical' and 88 MB for the full install.
    Source: Microsoft Office 95 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The only criteria that you don't meet is the OS - there is a max of Windows 95 whereas you have Vista. Luckily for you, Vista has a compatibility mode to allow programs designed for previous versions of Windows to be executed

    Right-click on the installer, click Properties, click on the Compatibility tab, check the box Run this program in compatibility mode for:, then on the drop down menu, click on Windows 95, click Apply then OK.

    Tom
