You do not (per chance) also have Office 2003 installed do you. I know there are issues starting up some of the programs if you do - specifically Word.

Thanks for the response. No... I do have Office 97 installed, though. It's been a while since I've done an upgrade on Office. 😀

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Yep, dropped SS2K8 Dev on my desktop. Needs SP1 (for SQL)

Heh... Thanks but I know it works with that... My problem is that I support a lot of folks that still run 2000 and I need SQL Server 2000 DevEd to run on it.

Anyone know for sure if SQL Server 2000 Developer's Edition will run on WIN7?

I've not tried it, but I've found anecdotal evidence that SQL 2000 won't work on Server 2008--given that uses the Vista kernel, as does Windows 7, I'd say the chances aren't good. HOWEVER, Windows 7 Ultimate does include virtual machine technology that allows you to run incompatible applications in a Windows XP core--no idea if that would work with SQL!

I'm still trying to fix this. My Google search may have found something to fix it but we'll see. Here's the "fix" article I found and have instantiated...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091

Once into that rather long winded article, look for the section titled [font="Arial Black"]Multiple versions of Word[/font]. That's what I've just instantiated and, like I said, we'll see what happens over the next week or so.

It's been a couple of weeks and the fix above seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help, folks.

I've run Win 7 RC for about 2+ months, and it just worked well for the most part. It was quick, it had some nice UI enhancements, lots of drivers, it just seemed to work well. I had issues with Live Mesh and Acrobat reader, but the more I've talked with people, the more I think I had a bad download or install.

Acrobat reader problems: that's no surprise. I've had issues with that rotten piece of bloatware on every platform I ever installed it on, and finally threw it off all my systems and installed Foxit reader instead. I have never seen a problem with PDF files since, and Foxit opens them in about 5% of the time Acrobat Reader took with them.
