Problem with Microsoft Office 97 Professional loaded in Vista Windows
I recently purchased Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition on ebay and loaded it on my Del laptop which is running Windows 7 Vista. This system had Microsoft Word and Excel 2010 Starter installed.
Word 97 worked perfectly but when I saved a file in Excel 97 it reverted to Excel 2010 Starter.
I next unloaded Microsoft Word and Excel 2010 Starter using the Control Panel.
Now, when I try to open an Excel file, I get this message: “There was a problem sending the command to the program”. When I try to open a Word file, I get this message: “Click-2-Run configuration failure.”
I restored C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 (Protected) (Q:) is in the Recycle Bin. When I try to open it I get “Location is not available”
I can open Excel and Word 97 from All Programs in Start, and open an existing program. I can then print it or change it and resave it.
What can I do to get Excel files to open?
