| | Office 2000 Professional Are there any known problems installing and running Office 2000 Professional on Windows Vista Home Premium? I use Office 2000 on my desktop and have no need to upgrade to Office 2007, thus wanting to also install it on a new Toshiba laptop using Vista. Thanks in advance. |

Like Vista is to XP, Office 2007 is a bulkier, more restrictive version. You are currently better off with the lower version. 2000 or even 2003 work well even on new systems, but, like in general, you're better off running it on XP or other rather than on Vista. |

If it doesn't work there is still no need to blow several hundred dollars on office 2007 - try OpenOffice.org - won't cost a dime and will probably fulfill all your needs. |

There are some issues with Outlook2000. Otherwise no problems. |

| | Re: Office 2000 Professional I believe you'll have issues with Outlook2000 due to changes in Vista...much has been written. As far as the other programs go, I have had only one issue but otherwise they work fine. The issue involves starting Word by clicking a .doc file. I get an error that the file can't be found. But if File-Open then all works as usual. I haven't pursued this issue but I think it involves compatibility files for programs 'unknown' to Vista.
