Windows vista and microsoft office

I have never been able to use microsoft office products, since I got my pc.  Was not that important because I had a working pc I use.  I don't do that anymore.  I was never able to find the so-called theproduct code provided with my pc so I could access office documtns.  I would like to be able to buy and download microsoft office so that I don't need to rely on it, but not find much that is compatible.  Is the best answer to switch operating systems, then get software?

Thank you very much. I'm going to buy and download

  • Installation of Windows 7 and Microsoft Office registration.

    I have a laptop gave me a few years ago by my University because of my dyslexia. The lap top came with Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 already installed OME. I have no number or product key, I want to remove Vista and install Windows 7, which I brought it. How can I save Microsoft Office during this operation.

    I don't know what is 'OME of office. "  There is no such sequence.  Perhaps you mean "OEM", but which is not yet say what you have.  Perhaps mean you "Office Home and Student 2007".  For example, why not open Word, click on the file tab, then help.  Your office suite should be registered.  There may be a place where you can download your suite Office 2007.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-office_install/here-are-the-download-locations-for-office-2010/ac67aa2f-dc1c-46f4-8b1d-ca00b3f02a18

    Legally, if someone gives or you sells a PC, they are bound to you or sell you the licenses for the software installed on this PC as well.  Apply to the University for the license keys they need you.  They should also provide all material supplied with the PC as the installation diskettes.

    Maybe your PC has a recovery partition.  In this case, you can create a recovery disc for yorself.  These records must contain the material to reinstall everything that came installed in the factory.  See if you can create these discs, an optical disc or on a USB key.

    There are free tools that can help you recover the licesne key of installed software.  See this: http://answers.microsoft.com/message/1d5260c5-0dff-4756-9b53-82f0edc9c498?threadId=09835b9f-eeb6-4aee-87e0-c553e05e8031

  • After uninstalling printer Windows Installer and Microsoft Office error "this update package not could be opened"

    Original title: Windows Installer and Microsoft Office problems after you have uninstalled the printer

    I tried to install more than one printer, a HP Photosmart C4280 by downloading the drivers and updates on the HP site. I uninstalled the printer after it failed to scan a document and I had no more use for it. Then the trouble started. When I tried to open some programs (iTunes, Skype, etc.) for the first time after the uninstall of the printer, a window "Windows Installer" popped up. After you have configured Windows Installer, the program would open normally. However, when I try to open any Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.), Windows Installer appears, but it turns into a window that reads:
    "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package. »

    Microsoft Office programs are open at all, and I desperately need my programs of Microsoft Office to work even faster. I would appreciate it if Windows Installer will stop trying to configure when I open a program also. Can someone help me please?

    Hi Helen,

    If you try to start from scratch, the new facility is the option.

    Note: after a clean installation, all data, programs, and drivers on the computer will be lost. It is recommended to make a backup of your important data before performing any installation. You need to reinstall the device drivers. Make sure that you back up office documents before re-formatting of the computer.

  • Is a program to open zip included in Windows Vista or Microsoft Office files?

    Try to open a zip file and Windows Vista can't seem to accomplish.  Also have Microsoft Office.  Is there a file that automatically opens zip files in any of the two?  How to open a zip file?

    It is included with Vista, but is called decompression/compression instead of compression/decompression.

    Here's briefly how to do it:http://www.ehow.com/how_4963978_open-zip-files-vista.html.

    If it doesn't, the Zip file associations have been lost somehow and must be repaired (I'm not sure what caused it - maybe some setting inadvertently or the hidden keyboard command).

    Here is a link to how to restore Vista zip file association: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/65254-zip-file-support-restore.html this should restore for compressed files zip file association and hopefully remove of open file (but which may take another measure).

    Here is another link on how to enable and disable the files compressed in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/93827-zip-file-compressed-folders.html.

    Here is a link on how to restore default binding settings in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/233243-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. This should also restore default associations of open files that include no zip.

    Between these three links, you should be able to restore files zip compressed file association and not with open files - indeed, return things to their default settings.

    Here are some additional links that may be useful if the three above do not resolve the problem:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91920-unassociate-file-extention-type.html,http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/restore-and-reset-file-association-in-windows-vista-back-to-original-default/,http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/and http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html.

    flboriquaeve,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  For this problem, you will need to contact the PC manufacturer.  If they do not restore disk there probably a restore hard disk partition.  If that's the case then you should be able to access at startup to restore your system if not factory (this will erase all data on the disc normally).  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    I placed blank DVD-R discs in drive E and she cannot finish the backup. I can not change the configuration or save it on a USB key I either. Could someone help me. Thank you. Barbara

    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

    See the article below, which deals with a similar question

  • Re-install Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007 to keep

    I have an Alienware m15x, I bought from Dell in 2009. I customized my order when I bought, so it came with Microsoft Office pre-installed. The summer is slow and I got diverted by some viruses adware because of my carelessness, so rather than understand how if RID and clean my system, I decided to start again and re - install Windows 7. Is saved in my restore partition so if I restore, office will be re-installed too?

    Your Microsoft Office 2007 will not be saved on the original image. You should have received an identity card of Microsoft product with your system that contains your 25-digit product key. You can use this to download an installer for the product activation and Microsoft. For more information including the download link, see my Download Microsoft Officewiki.

    If you do not have your MPI card, then run Belarc Advisor on your old installation. This utility will show you your Microsoft Office 2007 product key.

    Hi sherylls

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem.

    Question: The Windows update install you installed, what was the installer of Windows or the Windows Installer Cleanup utility?
    If it wasn't the cleanup utility, please get it from the link below and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Windows Vista and Microsoft Scan 8.0 trend are compatible with each other?

    Hello

    I get an error after installing trend Microsoft Scan 8.0. Status is coming as offline in the Task Manager. When I check the Windows Security Center, I see that there is a message that says:

    "trend microsoft officescan is on and but notes its status as Windows Security Center in a format that is no longer supported.

    An idea on what can do to eliminate this?

    You get this message because Officescan 8.0 (which is quite old. 10.5 is the current version) uses an obsolete method to communicate with the Security Center. OfficeScan should continue to work, so you can always get the updates of definition.
