Microsoft Word 2000 & Windows 7 x64

For reasons I won't go into, I needed to install Word 2000 (part of Office 2000 SR-1) under Windows 7 (x64). It installed, and Word launched - but there were no icons & it hung.

I found a solution in a PC World Forum (http://forums.pcworld.com/index.php?/topic/73733-microsoft-word-2000-in-windows-7/page__gopid__381736&#entry381736): one person got it to work by uninstalling Windows Live Add-in 1.3 and Office Live Connector.

I didn't have Office Live Connector, but I did have Windows Live Add-in. I uninstalled the latter, which I don't need, and Word began to work.

Next I'll see if I can re-install Office 2010 (minus Live)and get the two to live together.

Who Am I and Why Am I Doing This?

Who am I? Just one of, at this moment, over 70 million people who have created a blog. Why am I doing this? Well, like most people I have a lot of opinions. They swim around my head all day long and keep me up at night. Now, I could, and do, bore family, friends and associates with them, but that is cruel. So, I guess I'm hoping that by "publishing" them, I will be able to banish them from my mind and be able to fall asleep. And, as an employee many, many years ago told me: "it's a learning experience." Truthiness The opinions expressed here are my own and not that of the management. However, I read a lot, listen to the radio, and watch TV so I can't claim that any of these opinions are original. You should assume that all references to anything personal may be untrue in whole or in part to, as the saying goes, protect the innocent.
