Nothing too serious, just a few issues on starting an Office app that wastes a bit of time showing warnings before working OK when you want to do things quickly. It is quite understandable because even Win10 is not supposed to support Office 2007.

If I remember what the fix is, I'll let you know.Alan Phipps wrote: ↑Mon, 16.

I have one solution to all MS Office problems, dont buy it, use the Open Source LibreOffice insteadGavrushka wrote: ↑Wed, 18. May 22, 07:52A couple of years ago I retired Office 2007 and chose to pay an annual rental fee for Office 365. Perversely, I had far more issues in the early days, but now I am glad I did. Fee is cheaper than you might think, but I appreciate not everyone is happy with renting.
LibreOffice doesn't have any equivalent of Outlook--e.g. an e-mail client that also acts as a PDA and allows shared access to other staff folders. Otherwise, yes, it's very good.alt3rn1ty wrote: ↑Tue, 21.

I think pretty much anything you want to do in MS Office / 365 can also be done in LibreOffice, and all document formats are supported.
I had similar issues with Realtek device drivers like a month ago - it sucessfully installed it about 10 times in a row across 2-3 days.Alan Phipps wrote: ↑Thu, 13. Oct 22, 15:26I still have an issue with Windows Update trying to install multiple copies of a Realtek device driver extension that is: already successfully installed, was not necessary before the update, and doesn't really seem to be needed now either. I can't even tell Update to ignore them even though I don't now click on 'retry' or 'install all' and so avoid the endless repeat cycle.
