Windows vista and microsoft office

I have never been able to use any microsoft office products since I've had my pc. Wasn't that important as I had a pc from work I could use. I no longer do. I have never been able to find theproduct code that supposedly came with my pc so I could access office documtns. I would like to be able to purchase and download microsoft office so that i don't need to rely on that, but am finding not much that is compatable. Is the best answer to switch out operating systems then get software?????

The Product Key comes in the packaging that your Office disk came in or if you ordered online download you should've gotten a Mircosoft email with the Product Key for it. Otherwise your Office was a 30 day trial version and to unlock it you need to buy the Activiation Product Key from Microsoft. The Office that comes with factory laptop are only 30 Day Trials after that it goes limited mode or stops working all together and asking you to purchase it constantly if you try to use it. Since this is a Microsoft Product Key for Office you will need to contact Microsoft for this situation.

Installation Malfunction (Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2010)

I was uninstalling the program from my computer so I could clean it out completely and while I was uninstalling it the computer shut down (got unplugged) and then when I turned it back on it wouldn't let me finish uninstalling it. I tried to reinstall it
and it says I couldn't because it was still on there, and wouldn't let me uninstall it either. I uninstalled every part of it but the actual file "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010" and it will NOT allow me to uninstall it. When I click on
it a message pops up saying "The language of this installation package is not supported by your system."
I have a 2009 or 2010 Dell Inspiron with Windows Vista. I have enough space on my computer for the program and no viruses. I've been trying to reinstall this program all day, can someone please help me?

Your last uninstallation is not completed, and you are left with a partially Office 2010 on your computer. I would suggest you to use Microsoft Fix it tool to remove any Office 2010 traces。
For details, please refer to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971179 (This article explains how to uninstall 2003, 2007 or 2010 Microsoft Office suite by using Fix it, if you cannot uninstall it by using the
Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features
feature in Control Panel.)
Please have a try and let’s know if it works for you.

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Database connectivity toolkit problem with WINDOWS VISTA and Microsoft jet 4.0 provider

Hi again,
I'm experiencing a problem with Database connectivity toolkit and Microsoft Jet 4.0 provider (MS ACCESS mdb database).
I was able to get my application to work properly on my PC: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, VERSION 2002, SERVICE PACK 3 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9511.0 (Windows XP SP3 and Security Bullettin MS08-028).
The same connectivity toolkit seems to have problems (although I didn't get any error dialog) on a laptop with WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE, SERVICE PACK 2 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9755.0.
Does anyone have an idea whether it is a sort of compatibility issue or a different thing?
Would it be possible to include my DLLs into the installer in such a way LabVIEW application calls those DLLs instead of the ones it finds on the host PC?
Thanks a lot. Any suggestion or advice very welcome and appreciated.

I ran into this with Windows7 64 but, could not get the jet 4.0 to work. Endnd up dumping access and used sql server express, its free, and all my code worked fine, just used a different UDL to connect. I wasted lots of time trying to find a way of getting the jet4.0 to work with 64bit windows.

Windows 7 and Microsoft Office installed a series of updates and now I cannot open hyperlinks in emails.

After my system rebooted and I opened my emails in outlook, when I clicked on a hyperlink, it brought me no where. I did not get an error message. I went back in and set Firefox to my default program with all extensions and protocols for Firefox. However, when I click a hyperlink in an email, it still does not open in Firefox. What little trick has IE and Microsoft done now to change my system. Until I updated some files today, hyperlinks in emails opened in Firefox. Please Help. I hate IE!

Windows does not know that it should start Firefox to open those links.
Try this first. Start IE (yes I know) and set it as the default browser. After
close IE. Wait a few moments, then start Firefox. Then set FF as your default.

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard [serial number removed by moderator] and would like to upgrade to the Microsoft Windows 8 and the Office Professional Edition 2013.

Hi w james,
As you mentioned that you are upgrading your Operating System to Windows 8 and MS Office to MS Office Professional 2013, please note that Adobe Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and MS Office 2013. You need to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI as it is fully compatible with Windows 8 and MS Office 2013.

HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

Windows vista and 10g2

hi everyone!
i have oracle 10g 2 and i would like to install it in windows vista.
however i take an error.
is anything i can do in order to install this version in windows vista?
Thank you!

Software packages are different for 10g, you need
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4)
Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 2008
You can download and use the software in accordance with these terms:
Free to download, free to learn, unlimited evaluation
All software downloads are free, and each comes with a Development License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications (or for strictly self-educational purposes). In some cases, certain downloads (such as Beta releases) have licenses with slightly different terms. You can buy products with full-use licenses at any time from the online Store or from your sales representative.

Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message:

Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",process orArchitecture="x86"". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.

A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
Windows Update error 8000FFFF
If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

IMovie and Microsoft Office NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!

Just recently, out of nowhere, my iMovie and Microsoft Office stopped working; they won't turn on. I have Leopard 10.5, and they had been working on it since recently. Whenever I start iMovie, the "This program has quit unexpectedly" window comes up. Here's what I did. Firstly, I reported the problem to Apple and tried relaunching the program. That didn't work. Then, I deleted anything I had downloaded recently that may have affected it. Nothing. Next, I tried going into Library>Preferences and deleting all files with "iMovie" in the name. Nada. I then opened up disk utility and repaired disk permissions; yup, you guessed it, it didn't work. Finally, I archived and reinstalled Leopard, but it's still not working.
As for Microsoft Office, I have only reported the problem and deleted recent downloads. I haven't tried anything else (excluding the Leopard thing) to fix Office.
Please help ASAP! I need both of these applications for an upcoming project... and I may have to see a Mac Genius after this...
This is my last hope!
Thank you so much!

Thanks again,

Well, that tells us that it's most likely something in your user account and not with iMovie or Office in general. If you need to get your videos edited right away and don't have time for troubleshooting, you can transfer them to the other account by copying them into the Users -> Shared folder. That would allow you to have access to them from the working account.
As to fixing the problem, you might try asking in the iMovie forum. It's possible that you have a corrupted project that iMovie keeps trying to open by default and that deleting that project might fix the problem. I'm not an iMovie user, though, so I'm not sure. Asking in the iMovie forum will probably get you more informed suggestions.
As to Office, what version is it, and do none of the applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage) launch, or is it just some and if so which one(s)?

Install XP and microsoft office or... install parallel and apples office ?

I am pretty close to pushing the purchase button in the macbook 2ghz 80Gb hard drive. I have been a windows user,and use Office in windows. Wondering the +/- of either installing XP pro (i have a licensed version) and installing microsoft office suite (i have a licensed version) and purchase parallel. Or should i just purchase Apples version of office. Is 80gb big enough to hold both OS's?

You can make the decision yourself. The MacBook will probably come with the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive and you'll have a few weeks to try its features. If you're not satisifed then look into using Parallels. Or you can download the Mac Office Test Drive from <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/downloa d/office2004/office2004.xml&secid=4&ssid=1&flgnosysreq=True>.
Hope this helps! bill
