I've tried several times to install Project Pro 2007 on Vista Ultimate. The
install says it completed, but when I try to run it, the program goes into
this loop where it's configuring, then the splash screen appears, and then it
configures again, and finally says it couldn't configure because there isn't
enough memory. I have 2 gigs of Ram, 28 gigs of HD space and nothing else is
running except bloated Vista.

Any ideas? Everything else in Office installed and runs fine, including
Visio.

Mike,

Thanks for the information, but I've tried everything there and it's not
working. I think maybe it's time to look for another program. I've wasted
two days trying to get Project to install (the installer says it was
successful every time) and run without success. I'll just take it back and
find one that will work on Vista. I even tried a trick I learned when I
installed the Adobe Suite (creating a new user with admin privs to install)
and it didn't work either. I tried downloading the demo version just in case
there was something wrong with my CD. Same problem.

Erik

Sorry you can't load Project,Erik. It works fine on my Vista Home
installation and I'm sure it's in regular use on Vista Ultimate. Maybe
you'd like to try the server newsgroup. Please see FAQ Item: 24. Project
Newsgroups. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information
can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
