MS Office 97 Professional Edition-Word Print & Uninstall/Install P

[Paul]

I have MS office 97 professional, which has been running fine on my Vista PC,
until recently. It now won't let me print any word files. It appears to send
the file to the printer and then shows the file being deleated on the print
monitor.

I have tested the printer (Brother MFC-620 CN) with a test print page and it
works ok and also prints other documents such as works.

I have tried to deinstall and reinstall using my original disk with the CD
code which is recognised properly, but it doesn't find currently installed
Office programmes and then prompts me to install the whole office suite again
instead of allowing me to uninstall first.

At then end of the reinstallation it comes up with the following error
message.

Setup parse error in initialize pass object ID 11005 regoleAu CAH:
oledlregisterserver call failed

The only thing I have done recently that may or may not have anything to do
with this problem, is to delete all files from my Temp folder in Windows.

I would very much appreciate any help from someone out there on how I can
sort this problem out.

Many thanks,

Maybe I am mis-remembering but I was under the impression that Office 97 was
not Vista compatible. IIRC, only Office 2007 and Office 2003 are fully
compatible and supported in Vista. Office XP and Office 200 will run in
Vista but with some problems. I am sure that Office 97 was not compatible.
