You would definitely need to uninstall Office 2007 before installing an
older version. I have no idea what a "preview install" is. If you have
further issues they are with your OEM. Office 2003 will install on Vista
just fine


It's the software itself, but it isn't activated... the "preview
install' means just that. It might give access to the "What's New in
Office 2007" part of the software or some such. I'll uninstall that
and see if that solves the problem.


I did have success installing office 2003 on the new computer.
Tomorrow i'll try WET.

Thanks to all for the help


As an fyi, WET worked great, brought over all my folders and address
book. I'm not sure the message rules worked though.

Check your Outlook Address Book (not your Contacts). Most users are
reporting it will not survive WET and cannot be recovered.
