What does Word have to do with Windows? Word 97 works fine on Windows 7 you know. Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 do break a few very, very old applications, and some games and whatnot that attempt to circumvent the OS for hardware access break, but the main problem that is encountered with older software is that Vista and Windows 7 have the security locked down by default, so you have to tweak the security settings and possibly provide user access to specific files or folders to get them to work--the developers have known this was coming for at least 15 years and have chosen to dump everything into a system folder anyway. |
