Vista and Microsoft 2003 Compatibility Pack for 2007

[KA]

I have Vista as an operating system, with Microsoft 2003. I want to download

the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint file

formats. I have done all the updates required. However, when I hit the

download tab for the tool - I get the message that my "current security

settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". I have tried to lower my

security settings (internet tools) - but I can't get it to work. Any

suggestions?

You might want to check your firewall settings, if you are using one other

than the Windows one, check the settings, you might try disabling it just

long enough to download the update. See if you can verify if the message is

being by windows or another firewall or antivirus program, this might help to

track down the problem. Are you able to download files from other sources?.

I have Vista and Office 2003 and was able to download and install the update

without having to change any settings in Vista. I think that I just got the

normal Windows message asking if it's ok to install.
