| | Re: Running Office 2000 or Office XP on Windows Vista Did you do a search on this group using the word "Office"? I just did and found over 500 messages. You can read many comments from people running Office 97, Office 2000, and Office XP on Vista, along with any problems they might have.

| | Re: Running Office 2000 or Office XP on Windows Vista Well, if it does the "same thing" why aren't millions running to it and dropping Office like flies? Because it doesn't do the same thing. It's getting there, but it has an uphill battle.

| | 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.
