Continue to use MS Word 2003 instead of the Word 2007 that came with my new operating system (Windows Vista)

I have Windows Vista OS with Word 2007 (bougth with my new machine).  Previously, I have Windows XP with Windows 2003.  I would like to keep Word 2003 and which have to be my default program.  How can I do this?  I have still my Windows XP disc - should I reinstall?  What are the risks/disadvantages to return to Windows XP?  Thank you.

  • Is there a way I can use Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on an Android operating system?

    Original title: Android OS

    Is there a way I can use Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on an Android operating system?

    Hi DavidBuzzer,

    It is not possible to use Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint in Android operating system.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine & download any third-party software that could serve the purpose.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Can I install a copy of Windows 7 retail and use the OEM key that came with my system to activate it?

    Help me asus laptop n55sf
    I bought asus n55sf notebook, The OEM OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) it comes preinstalled without any image or cd and I want to ask to download an original copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from microsoft using the key provided with the laptop

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Another option:

    Download the Windows 7 ISO Image

  • When should I use the IRIS PRO that came with my 8600 instead of the built-in OCR scan-to-text?

    I just bought the Premium Pro 8600.  I installed the HP software, that gives me an OCR option for scanning.  I also installed the second disc, IRIS PRO, which is OCR, too.  When should I use each?

    I would use the software OCR supplied with the printer during the formatting of the document to be scanned is simple and use the IRIS PRO when the formatting is more complex.  You should expect some distortion of the two programs well formatted.  Hope that helps.

    Hi Barbara,

    (1) what is the exact error message you receive when you try to back up?

    (2) do you get an error message when you try to change the configuration of backup?

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can save

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 2: You can follow the steps described in the article below

    Error message when you try to perform a full backup on a Windows Vista-based computer: "the application cannot be performed because of an i/o device error."

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Method 3: You can run the fixit available in the article below and check to see if that corrects the problem of backup settings

    You cannot change the settings for a file backup operation or use the Windows Task Scheduler to change the schedule of defragmentation in Windows Vista

  • Can I use the Bluetooth Dongle that came with my Kit with a different wireless keyboard HP wireless?

    Hello world! I am brand new here and although I did some research on this subject I couldn't find it - forgive me (and point me in the right direction!) If this has already been covered.

    I just bought a HP Pavilion, a touchscreen all-in-one. It came with a wireless (dongle, keyboard and mouse) keyboard kit. I don't like the keyboard at all, lol and would lke to use another keyboard wireless I have (a GE Board), BUT I do not have a bluetooth usb dongle - I have that the dongle supplied with the kit of HP wireless.

    I tried to get this dongle to talk to my new keyboard, but it does not work. I can't tell if it's user error or if she will NEVER speak to him, lol.

    Can I use it? Or do I have to buy one separately bluetooth dongle which is compatible with the computer and GE keyboard?

    Thank you for ANY idea - I'm going crazy here!

    Ali

    Hello

    Based on the following specifications, your machines don't have a Bluetooth:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03791255

    GE keyboard is a BT device, you can use something like one of the followind dongle:

    http://www.latestbuy.com.au/Bluetooth-USB-dongle.html

    The dongle that comes with your computer may look the same, BUT it uses a different technology.

    Kind regards.

  • Try installing windows xp pro (not original disc) using the cd key that came with the computer and it tells me that it is invaild. Why?

    Both xp pro... dunno why its not working, worked prior to this installation. Same model, same format, reinstall installation routine... not working do not. Help, please

    If you have an OEM of XP Pro product key version and a CD of XP Pro retail, which will not work because they must be of the same type of XP Pro.

    If both the key product AND the installation CD are for the same type of XP Pro (otherwise, they are all two OEM or they are two retailers), so you just need to be very careful when you enter the 25-character product key, be careful not to confuse an 8 with a B, a 5s etc.

  • Product key not valid even if I use the CD that came with the computer!

    For some reason, your operating system is unable to properly read the SLIC table in BIOS which allows the OEM_SLP key you use to activate auto
    To resolve this problem, you must change the key for that on your sticker COA - go to system properties page and click on the link here.
    You may need to activate by phone

  • Try to use the capabilities of the Web from TOSHIBA camera with an external device via the USB port.

    Toshiba Web Camera software that came with my new Qosmio X 505 - Q880 is very useful, and I would use it to take pictures with an external camera connected by a USB cable (camera is a Kodak DC290, in case this is useful).  Is it possible to use the webcam with anything other than Toshiba built in webcam?  Now that I'm typing this, it seems a question more appropriate for the Toshiba site, but I guess I'll try here first.

    Toshiba Software is for Toshiba hardware.

    Go to the Kodak Web site and are looking for software for your Kodak camera.

    Or as you say, ask Toshiba.

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

  • Can I use the CD that came with my Palm Z22 to install on my new computer Windows 8 2005?

    I'm upgrading from a Dell XP machine on a computer Dell Windows 8.  My old Palm Z22 driver installation CD will work to load the software into my new Windows 8 machine; or do I need to download a new software specifically for Windows 8?

    After losing almost three frustrating weekends, I finally got my Z22 to synchronize with Windows 8.  You never answered my first question [can I use the CD that came with my Palm Z22 to install on my new computer Windows 8 2005?], that would have eliminated a lot of uncertainty in my many attempts to synchronize with the download of version 6.2 has recommended you.  Fortunately, I wasn't the original CD with version 4.2, because 6.2 has toured with a bit more clear instructions and a new download of http://www.palmdr.com/windows-7-64-bit-usb-drivers

    Thanks for your advice in any case.
