microsoft reader (for 'ebooks') + office 2003 + windows vista home
Hello,
I hope someone out there (perhaps an MVP?) can tell me whether or not the two files required for 'microsoft reader' (a reader for 'eBooks') that work in Word 2000, 2002 and 2003 on a Win' XP Home Ed sp2 laptop, will or should also work in Word 2003, when Office/Word 2003 is installed on a Windows Vista Home Premium pc. So far the 'eReader' app' appears to work OK in word/office 2003 on my XP laptop even though office/word 2003 is not listed in the pre-installation 'requirements' details on the download pages. Also several other types of files that were orginally created on my XP laptop - in office/word 2000/2002/2003 - as well as using WMP 9.0,10, or 11, and other apps installed on my XP laptop, like 'adobe reader 5,6,or 7' appear to be accessible using my Vista pc - mp3's, aac's, mpeg2/4 video, jpegs, bitmaps, word doc's, .pst's etc. I need to know whether my ebooks should be accessible from within Vista using the eReader BEFORE I try to install it, as I don't want to cause all those 100's of eBook files to be corrupted by an app' that is incompatible with Vista. All these ebook files - as well as all the other file types created in Win XP, and accessible in Vista - reside on a FAT32 external usb2 hard drive. Thanks for any info Bob |

update to previous question:
Microsoft Reader (for eBooks) DOES now apparently work on my Vista pc (so far anyway). When I downloaded and installed it from the office download website I downloaded it to the desktop first so that I could run it as an Administrator and in 'compatibility mode'. This is done when right clicking on the desktop icon, then clicking on 'properties' and selecting the 'compatibilty' tab then selecting run as administrator and selecting the choice to run the application in 'compatibilty mode' (for win xp sp2). I have also done the same thing for other applications, like Ad-Aware 2007(free) and Britannica Ultimate Reference Suite 2006 DVD (an unbeleivable £3.99 in Morrisons supermarket last week, which was a darn sight cheaper than the £65.00 that I paid for the '2004' version three years ago from PC World!) that were originally sold before Vista was launched.
