Have you tried to install on Win7 yet? Do make sure to uninstall the Office trial that is almost certainly installed on your machine. The main downside to that is it seems that Starter is a real "hog" when it comes to grabbing default file associations every time it can.
Search this site by typing "office Windows 7" in the search window at the top of this page and clicking on the down arrow beside the search button and select "all forums". There are lots of hits on the topic. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to Rohn's post on January 6, Thanks for your time to read my request and send a reply.
But your reply did not help at all, not in any way whatsoever. I have spent a lot of time on this, I can tell you with certainty: There is no way to use XP software on a Windows7 computer. And, with certainty, I can tell you that if you uninstall the Windows7 operating system, it will ruin your computer, you would lose many hundreds of dollars worth of stuff.
It would be financially ridiculous for anyone to uninstall expensive Windows7 just for an XP software issue. I need to use PowerPoint. My question is: Is there any website, or service pack, or downloadable thing that will make my Office software work on my Winsows7 computer?
I do not plan to do anything that could hurt or destroy my computer. I have no intentions of tampering with my computer. I just want to use my Office software. Do I throw away the Office disk, since it is no longer useful, or instead, is there some type of thing that will get the Office XP software to work on Windows7? Thanks for helping with this, please reply. I need to make some PowerPoint presentations.
In reply to EmeraldOffice's post on January 6, There's no problem well not many! It's nothing to do with your old XP operating system. If you spent hundreds then you should have install discs?? Yes, I do have the installation disc, for the entire Microsoft Office Professional Edition , in a beautiful yellow case.
I paid hundreds of dollars for it, and used it constantly, when I had XP computers. But a year ago, I had to buy another computer, and my new computer has a Windows7 operating system.
I made many, many phone calls to Microsoft to make sure that I could definitely use my disc on my Windows7 computer. That is why I bought a Windows7 computer. When I put my Office disc into my new Windows7 computer, I get a quick message saying something like, this is an XP disc, you need to put it inside an XP computer.
My new Windows7 computer won't allow me to use or open that Office disc at all. I have been advised and warned that if I try to tamper with and uninstall the Windows7 operating system on my computer, my computer will be permanently ruined in many ways with no way to restore the functions. Buying a new PowerPoint is much cheaper than ruining my computer.
I won't be spending any money. I am now trying Google Doc presentations; hopefully that will work for me. SlideRocket is an alternative, but I don't know how to save SlideRocket presentations on my computer or share them with others, the way you can with PowerPoint presentations.
So I have this expensive, fabulous Microsoft Office Professional Edition disc, and cannot use it. When I bought it, I thought it would last "forever". I tried to give the Office disc away, but people who knew what it was had Windows7 computers, and people with older XP computers don't want it, they don't know what it is and are not interested.
Could I sell it on eBay? Jean-Yves Tfelt. Office is definitely compatable with Windows 7 32 and 64 bit We have several PCs with this set up. One problem could be you were sold an OEM version by the PC manufacturer which is linked to just the original PC but this is unlikely if you paid hundreds. What is the exact message you get when you try to install and just to be certain this is the Office disc not the Windows XP disc?
Don't give up hope yet In my previous reply I was NOT telling you to remove Windows 7, I was telling you to remove the Office trial that is almost certainly installed on your computer.
It won't be causing the error message you are seeing right now, but very likely would cause a problem when you tried to activate I have Office ihstalled on my Vista machine. Win7 isn't significantly different from Vista, Office should install on your machine, all things being equal. Now we just have to find the specific detail that is NOT "equal". If you are getting an "XP" warning, take a close look a the installation disk.
Does it say "OEM" anywhere? An OEM license is only good for installation on one computer. No transfer allowed. Steve Rindsberg MVP. Click OK to continue with the upgrade or click Cancel to stop the installation. I clicked OK. If you have installed Microsoft Office on your hard drive or available network share, please select the drive where Office is located.
I chose C: drive and clicked OK. This is the pop-up which is the same as the previous pop-up : Product Compliance Check: Setup cannot locate a version of Microsoft Office 97, , or XP on your machine.
My comments: My Office disc is not an upgrade disc. A presentation is a combination of slides, handouts, notes, and outlines all in one file. You can add text, graphics, photos, clip art, sound, and video to your slides. PowerPoint can help you present a topic at work, home, or school. The PowerPoint window has toolbars and panes to help you quickly create presentations. Most of the toolbars are common in Office applications but may feature options unique to PowerPoint:.
This view, which opens when you launch PowerPoint, allows you to see multiple parts of a presentation at once. The Outline and Slides tabbed panes are located on the left side of the screen. Click the tabs to view an outline or slide of your presentation.
The tabs render differently based on the size of the pane. You can show or hide PowerPoint's toolbars. Click the View menu, then choose Toolbar. Decide which toolbars you want to show or hide. The view buttons can be useful as you prepare your presentation.
They control the way slides are displayed on the screen. Click a view button to see a different view. Normal View contains the Outline and Slides tabbed panes on the left, the Slide pane in the center, and the Task pane on the right. The Outline View shows the text of your presentation for easy editing, while the Slides View shows text and graphics of the slide you're working on.
Click the tabs to switch between the two views. Under the center slide area is a place for notes. You can hide or show the different panes in Normal View. To hide the task pane, click the View menu and choose Task Pane. The View menu also allows you to choose other views. Slide Sorter View lets you see small versions of all the slides you have created. You can delete, copy, and move slides in this view. Slide Show View lets you see your presentation electronically as it will appear to an audience.
The PowerPoint task pane is located on the right side of the screen. The down-pointing arrow in the top-right corner of the pane allows you to select different menus and tools. By default, the task pane appears when PowerPoint is launched. The Slide Layout and Slide Design panes within the task pane help organize layouts, design templates, and color schemes.
