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.

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?
