Vista does not recognize the previous Windows forms (2003) and Excel spreadsheets. Is there any solution for this?

Vista does not accept Windows 2003 documents and spreadsheets - is there a solution?

Hi wavedave,.

By 2003 documents and spreadsheets are you referring to Microsoft Office 2003? Vista is not a copy of Microsoft Office as part of the operating system; You can buy a copy of Microsoft Office. However, if it is simply a case of you is not not able to read (to create, you will need a copy of Microsoft Office) there is still rlevant application "Viewer Office." You need a viewer for each application, but, basically, it allows you to 'see' the documents word, excel etc. documents without having a copy of Microsoft Office on your system. As I said, you can "show" them if you need to change or create excel spreadsheets or word documents, you must purchase a copy of office.

See this link for more information on the viewers of rleevant: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/downloads/office-online-file-converters-and-viewers-HA001044981.aspx

    I've got qcad Professional installed, but vista will not open save dxf files I get a file... dxf is not an application valid win 32.
    Is this a common problem?
    Is there any solution for this?

    You, of course, took umbrage to my last post. For that I apologize, there was no pejorative intention. I am a newbie in the forums and am digging my way along. I have marked your answers answers by mistake, I'll try to fix this.
    I solved the problem, I tried to open files in the Qcad application by clicking on the list of recently used files. It will not work in a new session.
    The correct procedure is:-
    Open click, Qcad - click file - open (this opens the index page of Qcad from the saved files) - click the required file - click Open.
    There is no problem, with the exception of this incompetence of users.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

  • Siri does'nt hear me. Is there any solution for this?

    Since installing ios on iPhone 9.2 6 siri does not hear what I'm saying. Is there any solution for this?

    Hello Sergeant Hutton,

    I understand that Siri doesn't seem to be accepting an entry once activated. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the full functionality of Siri on your iPhone.

    1. Make sure that your iOS device has an Internet connection via Wi - Fi or cellular data.
    2. On your iOS device, make sure that Siri is enabled under settings > general > Siri.
    3. Restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
    4. On your iOS device, go to settings > general > Siri and turn off Siri. Then turn on again.
    5. Ensure that the microphones on your device are not blocked. For example, if your device has a protection case, remove it.
    6. If you use an iOS device, try to use Siri with headphones. If the works of Siri, get more help with the microphones on your device.
    7. Contact Apple support.

    Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  • Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

    I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

    I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
    Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

    Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

    THX

    Hello

    Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

    I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
    The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

    Good luck

  • Windows Vista does not recognize the removable storage device

    ISSUE INITIAL 2010-03-03)
    Here's the scenario:
    1. Insert the card compact flash.
    2 computer recognizes the removable storage (that is, it is assigned a drive letter and appears in disk management).
    3. use the icon remove the device safely in the taskbar to stop the machine to remove safely.
    4. remove the card compact flash.
    5. Insert the compact flash card.
    6. the computer does not recognize removable storage (that is, it is not assigned a drive letter and does not appear in disk management).

    The only way I can get windows to recognize the drive is to restart my computer. How can I get windows recognize the drive without having to reboot?   This problem does not occur with USB flash drives.

    Windows Vista Hame Premium, 64-bit, Service Pack 2 operating system

    UPDATE (04/03/2010):
    I have more information, I hope this helps to reach a solution.

    -J' repeated the steps above 1 to 3, with open Device Manager.  In step 3, in the Device Manager window, the icon for the question USB mass storage device becomes the exclamation point in yellow triangle icon.  Check its properties on the tab "General", in the "Device status" box, it says: "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been established for"safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)  IX this problem, disconnect the device from your computer and then reconnect it.  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »
    -J' then removed the card and rest of the error state.
    -J' I re inserted the card, and rest of the error state.
    -J' I then tried to update the driver by accessing the tab "driver", click on "Update driver", click on "Automatically search for an updated driver", and the result was "the best driver for your device is already installed."

    I found the solution on this hp web page:
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=bph07910&tmp_task=solveCategory&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=3876397&lang=en#N1074

    Basically, it says NOT to use the function "remove the device safely.  Instead, just right-click on the drive in the Solution Explorer, then choose "Eject".  Works perfectly.

    Some excerpts...
    "Memory card readers are devices that use the icon remove the device safely in the notification area in the taskbar). Do not click stop in the window, remove the device safely. Doing so can disconnect the card memory reader for Windows. In this case, restart the computer to reset the memory card reader. »
