I can't install it either. Nothing comes up when I put in the cd. If i use
windows explorer to click on the setup file, nothing happens. If I click on
the setup.hlp file I get a message that this help file isn't available on
vista.
What I need to know is if I can solve these problems short of buying all new
printers, scanners, and apparently software, or should I just return this
computer and give up because I can't afford to play any more.

Hi Dian'
I was attemoting to load a copy of MS Office 2000 on my brother-in-law's
computer(who lives 600 miles away) 2 weekensd ago during a visit. He had just
purchased a new Vist OS machine. The program would just hang up upon any
attemt. Even going the round about ways to bypass the auto run (that I
thought was causing the problem), through the run prompt, the the "my
computer" type screen,and the "search"feature, none of them worked. the
program just would not come up to to the front page of the install program on
the Office 2000 CD. This is the first time I have encountred Vista, so I
checked the MS help blog and only found some comments from the Beta users
back in 11/06 that mostly said it was not compatable vith Vista and told the
questionare to just upgrade to the 2007 program. That's great if you have the
money, he dosen't. That' why he is still using Office 2000, besides it fits
his needs. Thanks for the response.

If it was purchased in 1995, it couldn't be Office 2000 and it wouldn't
have been with a PC running Windows 98! If it's a non-OEM you should be
able to pop it in the CD drive and let it fire up.

I admit that I have not tried installing 2000 on Vista, but I had the
understanding that it would/should work. However, I also know that,
although Office 97 should work under WinXP, when it first came out a
lot of people complained that they couldn't get it to properly
install, although more have now.
It's new technology, so it may be a matter of waiting for a patch,
which I understand not everyone can do.

For what it's worth, I also had trouble installing Office 2000 Premium

Upgrade version installation program starts and gets to the point of
the "Installing Office 2000" dialog box and then basically hangs.
(Office 2000 product key entered and accepted.)
Solution- Shut down FindFast in the task manager.
Yup, it was that simple.

If you are having trouble installing an unsupported version of Office on Vista now, I would abandon the effort and get a supported version. Chances are that if you DO get teh Office 2000 programs to install, you will find more issues afterwards.
