Answer» So I have a new LAPTOP for my wife (Win 7, 64)
It came preloaded with 2010, but not an activated version... I installed my copy of Office 97.
When we open an Office program, it defaults to the 2010 version, which isn't ALLOWED until I pay for an activated version.
(Truth be told, I prefer Word 97, anyway).
I've tried picking Word 97 as the default to open *.docs, but it STILL defaults to Word 10. Short of deleting the 2010 files, is there an option to fix this?First, if you have no intentions of using Office 2010 I'd recommend uninstalling it. I've read that Office 97 is also not compatible with WINDOWS 7 because of Windows 7 UAC. I would also imagine running 64-bit that you're also going to run into issues.
However, that being said, you should be ABLE to get it to work running Windows XP Mode in Windows 7. See the below link for additional information about running this mode.
