Re: Can I move Office XP from old XP computer to new Vista compute

Hi

I tried installing Office XP on Vista and it took ages to install and IMAP
e-mail did not work. Send and receive did nothing (Using AOL!). Took Office
XP off again after that. Used Windows Mail with IMAP and e-mail flew through.

Take my advice and upgrade Office to 2003 at least.
