Office 07 locking up in Win7

[Chris&Sam]

I have just purchased two new HP computers with Windows 7 on them. I am
running office suite pro 07. Office keeps locking up after. Sometimes task
mgr will restart the program, sometimes I have to power off. Either way,
work is lost! I have done system restore twice but have seen no
improvements. Office worked fine the first two days then 34+ updates and now
it doesn't. It also locks up if monitor goes to sleep and will not recover
without a power down.

Well, this is why I wondered if Office 2007 was too dated to run on the
new Windows 7. Are you running the 64-bit Windows 7?

The latest version of Office is 2007. Yes, there is a newer version being
tested but it has not been officially released.

Try the Office 2010 beta that is available for download from the Microsoft
web site.

If Windows 7 were unable to run something as recent as Office 2007 (the
CURRENT version of Office, after all), you'd have to wonder what it
*would* run. And more to the point, wonder why anyone would buy it.

Yes, I am running 64 bit.

I just purchased Office 07....not about to buy anything else until someone
proves it works...this is ridiculous!
