For starters I have'nt heard of this problem before.
I have a duel boot between XP & Vista so I have the best of both worlds
to do this you first install xp then you install vista on a different partiation.
I think this may be you answer.
Vista is better for some things I own a MYBOOK(external Harddrive)
This is extremely unstable & slow on XP & I have even lost data using it on XP But it works well on vista.
Vista is a pain its basically more like leopard (IMAC OS)
then windows XP so it takes a bit of getting used to
ummmm that IS NOT a vista fault. that is a Microsoft Office fault. It should be backwards compatable, idk what you're talking about. I used the Microsoft Office 2008 on XP and opened and converted files from Microsoft Office 2000 to 2008. vista is the best operating yet so far.
teh problem you have is that its office 07 thats too blame not vista. you can get a free viewer for the old and new files if required and save files as the older version in 07
Windows Vista, like XP has a compatibility wizard. Since I don't own it, I can't tell you how to run it. Go to Start menu, then help and support, search for compatibility wizard.
Microsoft is so concerned with bringing out updated versions quickly to make money that they don't take the time to make the stuff properly. Is Microsoft Office installed on your computer?
In 2004 they decided that they could no longer work with the code. They rewrote 60% of it after that. This is one of the the reasons why it s*cks.
Because XP is so good!
The Simple things are Better
the current vista is only the beta................
