Shame it don’t work bat.
Does anyone know a better free blocker?
BANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Someone is thinking about breaking there computer, so they can buy a nice shiney new one…………
I wonder who?……………………….PB?
Why does ugo’s blow-up doll have a computer?
You need help ugo, real HELP
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.
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.
It’s a combination of factors not just the ram.
Your hard drive and cache play major parts too.
If you put 4gb of ram in the machine, it will still seem a bit slow loading.
MS office does need a lot of power to run it well.
The only place ms office works well on servers, the home computers are always a bit underpowered for it.
I know the ms office 08 versions are only “useable” on dual core systems with more than 8gb of high-end ram.
What I would do is up grade your ram to 4gb and use corsair ddr 400/pc3200xms memory non eec unbuffered cl3 heat spreader lifetime warranty for about £280
The best stuff is ddr 400hmz/pc3200 hyper xmemory from Kingston costing about £200 per gb
Cheap ram is only for the home users using msworks or play on the web.
I would just put ms office 03 back on, its not a bad program and works well.

Every thing you have suggested has been tried.
Windows insisted on installing the same drivers for this laptop cd/dvd combi drive.
The drive was removed last night and after 30 mins re-stalled.
Today it was removed and placed in another laptop and worked fine.
They’re a windows system error somewhere on the laptop or something wrong with the plug and play system.
Will try an external cd/dvd drive on it later.
If this cd/dvd drive is not working after that, it will be low levelled formatted and scraped.
This may help, I was talking to a mate about this and he thinks this will help.
