I"m trying to load Microsoft Office onto my laptop that runs Vista. But an
error message pops up that says: "The operating system is not configured to
run the application at this time."
Can anyone help? I really need office on my computer.

Post this message in one of the Office newsgroups. Make sure you include
the version of Office in your post.

It would help if you'd tell us which version of MS Office you are trying
to install.

You might try OpenOffice.org - it won't cost you a farthing to see if it
meets your needs - and it most likely will.

I looked on the website and it looks pretty good. Is Open Office compatible
with everything Microsoft Office, i.e. publisher, excel, word?

Does that help?

Not really, but sort of...you'll have some formatting problems.

I don't think there is a publisher module. I've used the word processor,
spreadsheet and presentation apps - they generally have no problem
importing and exporting MS files. Latest addition was a database. There is
an open source DTP prog called 'scribus' - don't know if there is an MS
version available or not.
