Application Lost after upgrade Maurice 10/19/2008 12:51:00 PM This is a 2.66Ghz laptop with 2GB memory. Office 2007 installed months earlier. Machine upgraded to Vista Ultimate from XP Pro. The machine no longer shows Office 2007 as an application. How can one troubleshoot this? Could the files be on windows.old? Guidance sought on this and what is contained in windows.old.

Just reinstall the application and copy any data you need out of Windows.old and transfer it to your present profile. Once you are sure your Vista is up and running 100% you may delete Windows.old

Re: Application Lost after upgrade "Rick Rogers" <rick[ at ]mvps.org> 10/19/2008 2:09:09 PM Hi, Upgraded or custom installed? An upgrade would carry installed programs over, a custom install may not (depending on the options that were selected). Click start and type "word". If office is installed, it (Microsoft Word) should show up in the menu. If it does not (all you get is Wordpad), then you will need to reinstall your Office product from its original installation media. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Maurice" <Maurice[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C65664B2-BE3B-4EE5-B7AB-362EE7C8C986[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Application Lost after upgrade Maurice 10/22/2008 12:21:01 PM I see MS Office files in windows.old. Although I have the disc I write to inquire if there is a way to 'make' Office 2007 appear in Vista's "All programs". This could be a learning opportunity for me.

Please advise Hey Maurice, The best advice would be to reinstall everything that you have on cd/dvd including office, save any files that you still need out of the windows.old folder and finaly when you are happy that the system is working properly,delete the windows.old files -- pooch
