What you have all forgotten is that MS test engineers try their new products on the latest computers.
Like most software engineers they are give the best computers with the best and most update hard ware.
When you release a new produced, you only test on a few computers; it would be impossible to test it on all configs.
System requirements are only a “guide”.
Pb has made the same misstate has many others, he trying to run a high speck program on an old machine.
Of course it’s going to run slow, of course it’s going to have problems.
The only time you replace any ms program is when you replace the computer.
I did plug “ms office 07 standard” in last night and run it on 2 computers for a few hours.
It only “works” well on the duel core with 2gb of high-end ram.
Has for the Pentium 4 with 1gb of ram, it worked but like 3 legged cow in a fun run.
For anyone buying a new computer costing over £1500, it good program and is better.
But for all of you trying to use it on old computer, just give up.
This is a hard ware issue not a software issue.
All the software tweaks in the world will not solve this problem.
I take your point abour cheap RAM DOA but I don’t think that £200+ per GB is going to give me an enormous step increase in throughput compared with spendind around £50-£60 per GB. These ramsticks will still allow around 6.4GB/s data transfer rate which is plenty fast enough.
Pb their cheap and nasty ram, there average ram and their good ram.
Most computer companies put the cheap stuff in to keep down costs.
The good stuff bangs a long like a whore on a Sat night in a Navy dockyard.
The poor stuff runs like martin in a marathon.
If you’re going to buy ram, buy the good stuff.
DOA cracks me up he really does, thankyou DOA my first genuine laugh of the day reading your posts.
I also have Office 2007 but experiance no slow down problems while using it, I have been to the office site and downloaded each update, this you have to do seperate to the windows update
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/default.aspx
I am sure you have probably done this already?
I have less memory then you and a slower processor, so I would’nt say you need to go out and buy more ram (be it the good or the cheap stuff.. what ever that means) DOA is getting confused with wine and ram
Well I’ve had it up to here with the ”notchy” performance so i’ve ordered myself 4 x 1GB modules of SDRAM – 2.6v – DDR – PC3200 – Non ECC – unbuffered.
I shall insert this right up the Motherboard’s jacksie and report back on the results.

You gonna ask Mr Gates to pay the interest on your Barclaycard or whatever it is?

I wish !!! Anyway it is hardly Billy’s ”fault” is it – the issue lies with the apparent greediness of the software and what may be a lack of RAM on my PC to run it fast enough.
Tell you what – if the RAM upgrade doesn’t work the way I hope it will I may try ‘overclocking’ the processor and get more speed out of it that way.
Someone is thinking about breaking there computer, so they can buy a nice shiney new one…………
I wonder who?……………………….PB?
Pb this is a system resource problem, how is over clocking your processor going to help?
I did have a real look at ms office 07 in the last few days, we have a copy in the office for test and it’s a “f-u-c-k off big” program.
It’s clear that the developers intended it to run on windows vista, not xp.
Ok it works on xp but not has well has vista.
A face fact, your computer is older and dirtier than a pair of Pats pants.
If your going to run hi-speck, up-to-date programs, buy a new computer very 18 months or get a mac.
