Iirc correctly that's right, but it looks as if he is doing that. Put in
the CD and when Setup runs, select Remove Office. That's where it looks to
me it is hanging. There is a KB article about running multiple versions of
Office, that may help with the Word, Excel and PowerPoint error message.
Load the page and search for "Multiple versions of Word".

Wow that has been a long time.If I remember correctly you need to put in
the installation CD and select Remove when you get to that option.
Hopefully I am remembering correctly and if not can someone correct me
Rich when you have removed it already ,then take the Office95 CD and ship
it off to any unknown destination maybe the Smithsonian . They might open
a computer relic exhibition in the near future. lol

I just purchased a new PC that came with Vista Home Premium. I loaded my
Office Professional 95 software and then found they are really not
compatible. I tried to remove Office 95 however, Vista runs the Microsoft
removal program and it just locks up. It never finishes, ask me to
install
the Office 95 disc 1, ask if I want all elements removed and then just
hangs
up. I still show Office Professional when I go back to "Remove Programs".
I
purchased and loaded Office Home 2007 and now get version error message
when
I start Word, Excel or Power Point. However, the 2007 version seems to
run
fine. Can anyone help in telling me how Office 95 can be removed from
Vista?
