| Guest | Office 2000 PRO and Office update I see in other posts in this forum that Office 2000 has run well for everyone. I've tried installing it and it runs, but I want of course to get the latest SP's and security patches. Unfortunately if you go to the Office Updates web site it tells you that it won't support Office 2000, only Office XP and above, but if you want to run Office 2000 on Vista it directs you to where you can download them manually. I've tried several different downloads of SP3 but each one tells me "The expected version of the product was not found on your system". Is this everyone's experience? Is every Office 2000 / Vista user running the base product unpatched? Thanks in advance James |

| Guest | Re: Office 2000 PRO and Office update Try updating Office 2000 in a chronological order, SP1a, SP2 and then SP3. The Service Pack manual downloads are found on pages 2 & 3 of the following: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/do...225771033.aspx "JJB" <103REMOVE-THIS267.1555@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ulBkwMZHIHA.1204@xxxxxx Quote: >I see in other posts in this forum that Office 2000 has run well for >everyone.

Please understand that Office 2000 is not a certified product that is guaranteed to work properly on Windows Vista. The recommendation is either you upgrade to Office 2003 with SP3 or Office 2007. If you can't do that, the only guaranteed workaround is to install a compatible version of Windows in Virtual PC 2007 running on Windows Vista and install Office 2000 with the latest updates on top of it. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "JJB" <103REMOVE-THIS267.1555@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ulBkwMZHIHA.1204@xxxxxx Quote: >I see in other posts in this forum that Office 2000 has run well for >everyone.

| Guest | Re: Office 2000 PRO and Office update Thanks, that did it, and then I installed all the security patches since. Pity that the disabled the automatic update that's available for the same Office 2000 programs but when run on Vista... Cheers James "R.

| Guest | Re: Office 2000 PRO and Office update Yep, understood that part, I'm operating under a disclaimer... What I should have said is that there's lots of people seeming to run it OK (except for an Outlook issue), and others who aren't...
