Vista 5308 / Office 2007 Beta2 work OK together ?

Bob Buckland ?:-\) · Jun 5, 2006

Hi Bobb,

If you're using Vista with Office 12, you'll need Vista Build 5384 or higher. For passport profile issues (it could be a cookie
setting on the PC) you can use http://passport.net

==========
Ok, I went to MSFT site to download latest version. I got a passport
prompt ( which I haven't used in a Lonnnng time)
"You can sign in here with your existing e-mail address and password."
I went entered my login info and I get:

"The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please retype the e-mail
address and password, or sign up if you haven't already done so. "

No it's not incorrect - it's the same email I got when they sent me
this - long ago:

From: "Microsoft Certification" (e-mail address removed)
And what I do for passwords is send myself an email with my password so
I can save it on my PC.(which I just read)
so I clicked "forgot my password" and it asks me some obscure question
( favorite old TV show) that I didn't select - I always choose "dog's
name". Sure I can create another hotmail account, but it's not one that
is assocaited with my MSFT certs / training.
5308 I got via DVD at MSFT Tech Tour in May , not via download.
I'm thinking that maybe my "old passport account" expired when they
went to Live ? Anyone been here ? How to get around this ? >>

I hope this helped you,

Thanks for the info: I'll just not use it for now.
I guess I didn't notice/ read the pre-reqs when I downloaded Office
2007.
Maybe when someone is providing feedback on the Office beta, they might
include :
"Mention at install that Vista build xxx is required for Office to run".
