Office XP doesnt work.

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:09:22 Z

I tried installing office XP many times in administrator mode as well.

I cant get it to work.

After installation, when i try to start the office applications, it prompts me for installation CD. This should not happen. Even if I give it the CD, it tries to load but never fully loads and ends up doing nothing.

If I start internet explorer, I get prompt for the installation of Office XP also. And then the windows flashes very fast continually as if its opening and closing extra windows.

BTW I have upgraded to Office XP service pack 3 also to no avail.

Please advise.

EDIT: I would post pictures but I dont know where to upload.

As far as i know Office XP will not work on Windows 7. Only Office 2003 or newer will install on Windows 7 at this time. I have not seen any reports of that version of Office working flawlessly. There is nothing but problems trying to get it to work.

I am running Windows 7 64bit build 7100.

I have already made purchases for the pre-order. Will this be fixed by the real release? I personally prefer the style of office XP (which I own) or 2003 (which I do not own) for my laptop, versus office 2007 (which I use @ work).

I also can't install solid edge for some reason either.

If it will help, I loaded Office XP Pro 2002 And it runs well with one frustrating exception. Every time I open outlook, it requires me to renter my passwords for all of my e-mail accounts. It shows the pass words in the "account" edit section but just wants to see if old people can remember stuff?

I also have Office XP professional.

Can you tell me how you went about installing it? I tried installing it many times to no avail. I tried installing in the administrator account and running in administrator mode.

I also have issues when IE because it asks for the installation file.
