can I transfer a MS Office Pro from my old computer to my new one?

Yes, you can, as long as you uninstalled it from your old computer.  Just install it with the CD, and if you have any problems with the installation, call up Microsoft, and explain what you're doing, and they can guide you through the process to validate the registration.\n\nYou might also consider OpenOffice, since this is a free, open source office suite highly comparable to MS Office, and you won't have the licensing problems.

Yes... openoffice gives you the option to save the document as a Microsoft file.  You should have no problem doing that.  I use OO at home and transfer files to work all the time.

You do not have to put your drive from the old computer into the new computer...\n\nA good way is to use the direct conection wizard from windows. This program allows users to connect thier computers using various methods. You can use your parallel ports (old stlye printer ports) or serial ports(old stlye comm ports). \n\nA other way is to set up a small network between the two machines by using a RJ45 crossover cable. This cable is used in the Newtork Ports(Now used for Cable/DSL Service) of both machines. You will have to use the network wizard to do this.\n\nI think using a small network is a better way^\n\nYou may need to obtain more information as to how to do my  suggestings becase Windows XP AND Windows ME both do things diffriently.\n\nThe Guys here should be able to walk you through the process if you indeed choose one of my methods metioned above.\n\nI can tell you that Windos XP should take the lead(Host) for setting up any connection over the Windows Me machine.\n\nIn windows Me you will have to goto\nstart>programs>Accessories>\nCommunications>Direct Cable Connections\nThis is for the first Method.\n\nGood luck.

Have a look on the link below - i haven't used Outlook for some time, but I would imagine the "import/export" tool would be the best way to go. Other than that it might just be better to create a new compatible folder.\n\nJust keep in mind that Office 2007 is just around the corner, and a lot of work has gone into making things much more backwards and forward compatible - might be worth your while taking a look if you are running multiple platforms/versions

You could use Sun's open office, which will allow you to open MS Word files on your Mac, even without MS Word. From theer you could easily copy and paste to your existing form

I think you can't upgrade the trial version to the new version, that's why its "trial". You have to buy the software.\n\nYou have to uninstall the trial version, and then install the new full version. You can upgrade the real version with available updates, but you can't probably upgrade it to next full version. \n\nFor example, if you use MS Office 2003, you can upgrade it, but that doesn't mean you will have MS Office 2007 on your PC. Unique features of Office 2007 will still be absent in your version.

you can use a software such as Norton Ghost to make an image of all the stuff in your old PC and put it into the new PC.

If you still have the other harddrive then I would reccomend that you make in the Master drive and the new drive the Slave.  This way you will not need to reinstall your office programs because they will be on your primary drive.

You can "activate" Word 2003 on up to 2 computers without any hassle. After that you have to contact MS and say "I upgraded to a new computer and need to activate blah blah" and they will let you. They give you a phone number to call when the activation fails.

Yes, it is possible. There are software out there that will "clone" your harddrive, including the OS and applications and data. Even when drive capacities don't match software can compansate for it (e.g., you can transfer to a larger drive without problems). I have used one such software (click on the source link below), but I encourage you to look at other software as well.\n\nKeep in mind you may trigger Windows XPs built-in validation check by changing hardware. However, this is not a problem, even in the worst case scenario you may simply go to a web site or make a phone call to re-validate Windows XP.

Aloha Bob software offers a program that will copy your old pc's programs to a new pc, if they are networked. sometimes these types of software work, sometimes they don't, especially when it comes to email programs. also, if you are networked to the old pc, you should be able to do the import/export function suggested above. look in outlook help (or Microsoft outlook help on their web page) for more info/instructions.

You can go to the Microsoft Website and download a 30-day trial of MS Office.\nYou can go to ebay and purchase an older version of Office for not a lot of money (like MS Office 2000 or earlier).  Make sure it's an original CD.\nFind a friend that has a disk and doesn't use it.\nThese are the only legal ways I know of.

You cannot just copy the software from one computer to another, you need to install the software. When you install any software, there are many other files associated to the main .exe file to run. If those files are not found you get error messages.\n\nBut if you are getting the error message such as above "application not valid win32", that means, this particular application is actually not a valid executable file, for example try to do something like this:\n\nChoose a picture file like IMG0039.JPG and rename it to IMG0039.EXE, now double click to run this .exe file and you will get the error "application not valid win32".\n\n\nTry re-installing the application, sometimes you also get such error if the installed file is corrupted. Re-installing the application will should solve the problem and also check your computer for errors by following this:\n\nOn windows XP\n- Open My Computer, select the drive you want to check for errors, usually it is C:\n- Right click on C: then click on properties,\n- click on the tools tab and click on Check Now.
