I used Open Office for years and it's a great site, but I recently got the latest version of Office and it's just so much better.

I can certainly understand why you want your new software to work Dej, but unfortunately I'm unable to offer anything to help your present predicament.

I'm running Vista and had no trouble installing Office, so all I can suggest is that it's one of those hiccups that seem to accompany just about every new Windows version that emerges.
