Windows 7 Aero and Office 2013 incompatibility

I originally asked this question in the Community Forum of Windows, but it occurs to me that it could be related to VMware Tools and how they treat of Aero Windows 7, if I copy the thread here.

So, I would like to run a windows on my MacBook Pro image for backward compatibility.  Here is the image I created.

MBP OSX 11.8.2 with VMware Fusion 5.0.1

Windows 7 SP1 64-bit 6.1.7601

Office 2013 15.0.4420.1017 64-bit (Final)

VMware Tools 9.2.1.818201

From any application with active Aero, Office 2013 creates a white screen where you can see a few artifacts when you hover over them and you can close the application by clicking on the upper right (no doubt the 'X' would be expected normally).


Disabling Aero product of the normal and of course desktop features, applications is as ugly as the new office.

Given the direction that MS has taken on the reduction feature, I understand if the answer to my question is that MS wants that disable you Aero.  no doubt, so I'll get used to less features and be more willing to downgrade to Windows 8.  But the white screen appears like a bug.

Have I not this wrong?  Is there a way to keep active Aero and always use Win7/Office15?

What I write is a screenshot of the screen of my MBP, so you can see exactly what I see.

Office 2013 is the only program that has this problem.
I said on two virtual machines running on the same laptop, both using Windows 7.

Here is the word off Aero.

Here is my active desktop with Aero.
http://ironbravo.com/public/20121027/On%20Aero%20Desktop%201.png

Here's the word on Aero.  Note the search engine for artifacts when I mouse over it.
The application is also black.
http://ironbravo.com/public/20121027/Word%20on%20Aero%201.png

I also tried to use an Aero feature of failover to an application with the preview showing.  It shows as black.  Here is the image.
http://ironbravo.com/public/20121027/Word%20on%20Aero%202.png

Excel on Aero has the same problem.
http://ironbravo.com/public/20121027/Excel%20on%20Aero%201.png

Does PowerPoint
http://ironbravo.com/public/20121027/PowerPoint%20on%20Aero%201.png

On Excel and PowerPoint, I wriggle on the Find dialog box when I took the screenshot.

What is potentially interesting, is when the application starts I see the splash screen and when he closes by selecting the hidden in the upper right corner X, I see an animation to minimize the screen.  It is very remarkable because you see the colors of the theme of the application, like Word blue, green for Excel, or red for PowerPoint.

So, I'm not sure how useful screenshots of a black screen can be, but they are.


Your question about compatibility mode, I checked the Windows 7 App compatibility is not enabled for this application, and I do not remember having enabled for all applications in the image.  I've done was by viewing the application settings of the dialog box Word 2013 icon properties on the Compatibility tab.

My laptop has a screen of 2880 x 1800, so I reduced the size of the images here.
When running in full screen, rather than a window, the results are the same.
All files are stored here if you want to than the original images.

Thanks for your thoughts.

My reasoning is that this feature seems to be only a problem for the virtualized image.

So, I'm curious to know if others have seen problems with Aero in this configuration.

Instead of disable 3d acceleration in vm settings have tried to disable hardware acceleration in individual office applications?   activate the acceleration on vm.

  • Fusion 5.0.1 update problems with win screen 8 and Office 2013 preview

    Greetings!

    I have been running the evaluation version Windows 8 Enterprise 90 of Windows 8 as a host vmware OS (host of Mountain Lion operating system) and discovered serious problems when running Office 2013 preview.   In short, when I used it Word or Excel (did not PowerPoint), the screen is not correctly updated leaving lots of 'black areas '.   I understand the screenshot below (see attachment file) as evidence.  I hope that VMware Fusion staff get this rule since it's a bug blocking for you when you use Office 2013 preview.   Not having is not the last service is usable, it is certainly a serious bug in my opinion.   I can only imagine that maybe the graphics drivers for Windows 8 does not work as expected.

    If VMware Fusion staff want more screenshots, I'm more than happy to help.

    See you soon.

  • Run Windows, classic VB and Office from a USB?

    I have an old computer with a noisy hard drive. Rather than replace the hard drive, I wonder if I can just install a version of Windows, VB 6.0 (classic), and Word and Excel 2000 on a thumb drive and run from there.

    Everything I do with it runs a simple VB program that opens and focuses on Word and Excel files. Everything works fine now - except for the horrible groan in the hard drive.

    I have discs for Win 98SE, 2000 and XP. (VB and office, too, of course.) Will one of these boot OSs and run Office and VB from a USB?

    Ed

    Here's the thing, Ed. Although it is possible to run XP on a USB key in some cases, it's probably not worth. For more information, read this article:

    http://articles.TechRepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html

    So that it works, not only do you need to use the right type of USB, but also your PC must support booting from a flash drive. And given that your PC is old, I doubt that.

    If the PC is perhaps old, you can simply buy a new one; they are very affordable. Or you can replace the hard drive. You can physically remove in order to identify it (or use the Device Manager). Then Google to determine a suitable replacement. Newegg is a good source for hard disks.

    Hello

    Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

    You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
    on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

    -------------------------------------------------

    If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
    program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
    much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
    of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

    original title: incompatibility of ODBC architecture

    Our current production systems run Windows XP SP2 and Office 2002/2003. We have a few applications that require MDAC 2.8 (03.85.117 ODBC driver Version) and connect to our backend SQL 2000 SP4 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise. We started in our Windows RC x 64 testgroup / Office 2003 and came to a problem with the following message appears when you try to use one of our applications (MicroEdge GIFTS 6.1).

    Seems fairly simple to solve, but alas, low version attempts have failed. Windows 7 has a version 06.01.7100 driver. I was wondering if anyone encountered a similar problem and if so you did reslove with magic, a stroke of luck or pure genius.

  • Cannot print in Win 8 and Excel 2013 Deskjet 3000 USB plugged - resolved

    Hello

    Newly installed computer running win 8/64-bit and Office 2013.  Have Deskjet 3000 USB printers.  Last driver HP and the latest installed MSFT.

    Searched for this problem and most seem to be reoslved by changing the print quality settings, I tried all project photo and same result.

    When I print from Excel, I see my spreadsheet in the Preview Print print area is correct.  I click on print and if I quickly change the status of pinter I see document number go from zero to 1 and then back to zero what any windows spooler.  I also changed printer for any coil.

    I have no problem printing form other applications Office Word and PPT, or Adobe Reader or my browsers.  Just in Excel.

    Don't know where to go from here? I ran the HP diagnostic tools and they work very well and that you can get test pages printed on them as well as Windows itself.  No error messages at all when the problem occurs, the print file seems to disappear.  I can print in a file from Excel and then print this file if its PDF without problem.

    Very mysterious!

    Thank you

    OK update:

    I removed the HP software and driver and simply use the native Windows 8 driver and everything is wonderful.  Seems strange that doesht mfg driver work but the Windows version only.  All that I know is just remove any HP software and the driver and just take the default of WIndows and life is perfect!

    Hi rich, happy to hear that the problem is now resolved, thanks for posting back with update

  • WIN8 Apps (including Office 2013/365) crash when printing to Canon 8350CDn

    Hi - I tried to find info about this problem on the Forum Office 365, but they sent me here...

    I have a Canon 8350CDn... When I try to print to this printer from these apps, Office 2013, Notepad, Wordpad immediately crash.

    Other applications, including IE10, Firefox, ACDSee, Acrobat, all print just fine. It's only the Windows/Office products that crash.

    I was told that it is the driver, but Canon is quite convinced that the problem must be with Windows because other applications print just fine.

    AND, here, the pleasure is: what happens on 3 different computers, all expenses installs Win8 and office 2013/365. THUS, it is not something on a particular machine. Something is wrong, either with the Windows driver.

    I'll look forward to aid - is not not able to print is a major obstacle and it is making me long for Win7 and Office 2010...

    Try to update the driver for your printer. You can get the driver from your printer manufacturer's Web site.
