Word 97 disappears when trying to print

by 1Chris Feb 8, 2008 12:50AM PST

I just got a HP a6120n machine with Vista. It came with a trial version of MS Office 2007 which I uninstalled when I found out that most of the features I use are disabled. I installed MS Office 97 (actually while Office 2007 was still on the machine - they could both run independently). Anyway, I went to File, Print and then Word just dissapeared. No mistaking it for Close or Exit. I tried it again - same thing. What could be happening?

That's Vista for you.

There are scattered reports that Office 97 barely runs on Vista. For now you can go get Open Office (see google) for free till you decide on a new Office.
