HELP ?!?
Just started 6th form - Alevels - Maths Business ICT and Law. 1st assignment a PP Presentation, so after a new summer signing of a Sony Vaio on Vista springs on. 1st Problem - Microsoft office 2007...School still running on M Office 2003 so i cant really use it as i have to show my presentation to my overlarge Business class of 6 lmao. 2nd Problem - A mate gives me a copy of M office 2003 - are you having a laugh about Vista accepting it ?? So after i uninstall 2007 to downgrade to 2003 i find that it won't bloody install leaving me with now M office at all. So - Is there anyway that i can use 2003 when on Vista ?? If not how do i go about uing 2007 so that it will open on 2003 [as i've been told you can] but i wanted to avoid using 2007 cuz tbh im quite stuck in my ways with the fact that i actually liked 2003 lol. So if anybody can help me out here i would very much appreciate it. Gooch P.S i bought this lappy [VGN-NR32L] for the intention of my school only to find out when i got to school that it won't connect with the school WLAN network because it's on Vista - So theres another problem. --------------------  |

Hmmm, I think I must be out of touch with the yoof, I can only understand about half of your post.
Firstly, why didn't you just use the Save As feature of Office 2007? You can save as Office 2003 compatible (Powerpoint 97-03). Think that solves your problem? If not there is no reason that Office 2003 would not work on Vista, although it might be that Office 2007 hasn't unistalled completely. Try running something like ccleaner to tidy up the registry and delete the Office folder. By the way I can't think of a single reason that Vista would stop you connecting to wireless network.

Vista should actually make it easier to connect to the schools network.

I can only echo what Dr Who and AWarner have said. Office 2007 on Vista shouldn't be a problem.

Do you actually have the correct WEP/WPA key for the network?
Is MAC filtering enabled on the access point? |

The only reason that the Office2003 your mate "gave" you won't install is because its either hooky or he has already installed and activated it.
As has been said before, use Office 2007 and then save your files as "powerpoint 97-2003 files" etc etc And as for Vista not connecting to your school wlan, Vista is compatible with all the different encryption types that your school will be using -------------------- Touch HD runnign Dutty's latest rom

To be honest the 2k3 was a preference but nope it doesn't let you install. . . I tried it today on another lappy [ XP ] and it worked fine.
I just prefered 2k3 thats why i uninstalled 2k7 And lovely sarcasm guys (Y) -------------------- |

Glad we could help
 2007 does take some getting used to but for beginners it's easier to use. Personally I would not go back to a previous version. -------------------- 3 mobile where the words "customer" and "service" only exists in the dictionary

QUOTE(Stuart_f @ Sep 7 2008, 14:00)  Do you actually have the correct WEP/WPA key for the network? I'd suspect the school is using something like Cisco LEAP, which has never been supported by Windows, and required the wireless card software. On Lenovo ThinkPad's on XP, you have to use the horrible Access Connections software to get LEAP support, and I gather the Vista version of AC, has removed the LEAP feature. Perhaps its the same on the Sony's. -------------------- T-Mobile Vario III (Kaiser) with HTC TyTN II WM 6.1 ROM

lol the school is just awkward and won't pay to upgrade their network to support it because we hae just got 'Specialist College' Status for ICT and Maths so i think that next summer they're having a whole revamp so they won't upgrade their currrent system if theyre getting a new 1 soon.
