Suddenly one morning I turned on my Dell Latitude Winxp laptop and got "server not found' and a week later same thing on the Compaq WinXP desktop. I cannot get anymore help from MSoft because support ended for XP but it is the best Operating System and I need it.

I also have a desktop ASUS Win7. A week ago MS Word 2000 on my win7 does not work the same after receiving an update form MSoft. I do not get the "Open" link to select a document anymore. The complete program has changed in Win7. The information is there but just difficult to find. I did not have a choice on the update because it was automatic when I was retiring for the night. Any help on these problems is appreciated. Please indicate winxp or win7 when replying. Thanks in advance.
 
You should not be using outdated software. Reinstall Windows and MS Office. Nobody uses that due to the fact that it will not get proper support from Windows. Do not just use one operating system and claiming it is the best without using others.

Question from tino20033 : "WinXP Server not found / Win7 MSword 2000 changed after automatic update form MS."



 


The Winxp program was working fine and the Dell and Compaq are older computesr. I needed them so as not purchase new software to use Quicken and Word2000. I have win7 I been using for over a year.

 
I am fine without support because I do not go on the internet with the DEL and Compact. I use the ASUS win7 for the Internet. Anyway I have figured out a way to use the MSWord2000 program. Thanks to all who responded.
