How can I install Excel 95 on a new Windows Vista machine ?
For historical and educational reasons, I want to install Excel 95 on
a brand new HP PC, which comes shipped wth Vista. Can I install Windows XP somewhere on it (which does support Excel 95 (ie Version 7) ) ? If ncessary, partition it and install Windows XP first ? Will this degrade system performance ? The outcome of this ambition matters very greatly to me.. Thanks all _ Charles |

Usually, you should install the older OS first. Each OS must be in a separate partition. Having multiple OS does not affect performance. When you are booted to one OS, the other OS is not running. If Excel 95 can run in Windows XP, then just boot to XP and install Office 95. Has no effect on what goes on when you are booted into Vista. |

If your system has the resources for it, you might find this an interesting
alternative to partitioning your drives... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow...c/default.mspx I have it set up on my 64-bit Vista laptop (don't ask<g) and what it does is let me run Windows XP inside a window on my Vista computer. That means I can switch between Windows Vista programs and Windows XP programs as easily a I can switch between any two running applications. It really is quite neat! And best of all, the program is free (of course, you need a legitimate copy of Windows XP to install into it, but I assume from your question that you already have it). Rick wrote in message ...

One more -
Have you actually tried to install your Excel 95 on Vista. If not why not give it a go, ignore all warnings. FWIW, although I haven't installed XL'95 I have installed one or two other very old both W3.1 & W95 app's in Vista, no problems despite the warnings. One thing though, before attempting to do that, fully uninstall any other versions of Excel as they should always be installed in order of oldest first. Also don't install into a default "Office" folder but say into "Office95" Regards, Peter T wrote in message ...

... Thanks Howard . I think however Rick Rothstein, below, has "an inside track" ! My train will not run on Rick's track. I will not use a virtual OS, as I want to assure that there are no unexpected impacts on software that I run. This can be assured only by directly running in an OS, with no extra layers of software. |

Vitural PC is the best solution. you can have as many operating system
running as you want as long as you have enough space on your hard drive.
