    I currently have Office 2000 on my desktop (Windows 7 64 bit). I am now planning to install Microsoft Office 2010 (home and student edition).

    Should I first uninstall Office 2000, or simply insert the new CD and go from there?
    Thank you

    Uninstall Office 2000 first and then install the new one.

    Thanks for the advice. Now….how should I uninstall Office 2000? Should I use the control panel or use the Resource Tool Kit for Office 2003; use it to uninstall Office 2000.

    Thanks again for your assistance.

    I have installed Office Professional Plus 2010, but can’t open any programs. I get this message: “This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.”
    What does this mean, and how can I make my programs work?

    I have had an Acer Aspite laptop since 2007 which has only been used for playing DVD’s and storing photos. I often get pop-ups regarding security issues but have ignored as not connected to the internet. I am now arranging broadband connection which I am told will come with security/firewall etc. Will I need to purchase additional protection or will that provider by the the ISP be sufficient? Also I have purchased Office 2010 Home and Student and tried to load in advance of getting the internet connection but the Disk fails to connect – would this be because of the security issues or do I need to have internet connection to load software from the disk?

    Try to search for Microsoft Word from Start menu search box. You can also check the Programs and Features to see if the installation was successful.

    I installed Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student (it was exactly as per your screen captures)and I checked the Programs and Features and it’s in there saying that it was installed today – so that’s all good, right? Because Microsoft Office has disappeared from my Start menu since being installed and the icon on my desktop simply comes up with an error message stating ‘This action is only valid for products that are currently installed’. So what does that all mean?

    just purchased a used tower and am trying to install office pro 2010 but all I get is an auto play box that has “open folder to view files” and “view more AutoPlay options in Control Panel”. I don’t see an option to auto start or a box to enter a product key. This software was purchased from a local collage bookstore for student use.

    I’ve installed and activated Office 2010 but Windows does not recognize it or allow me to open documents in it. I get a screen offering to let me activate Office 2010 or purchase it, and when I choose activate and enter the product key (again) it says the key is invalid. Office 2010 still shows on the list of programs that can be uninstalled, and it has the right install date. All I am able to do is open Word Starter and then open .docx files from Starter. Any help would be appreciated!
