Win7 is made for modern technology and all the faults seem to be with older stuff Monty. I suspect its the age of the printer. You could try putting Office 2003 on the Win7 machine. It will install and work OK if you install it using the Compatability Wizard and set it for XP and Admin Permissions. I have used it with Win7 x 64 without any problems at all, although now I use Office 2010. I dont know for sure that will cure it, but you might have a better chance. Some of these fixes are trial and error with a new system. My printer is a few years old, but its not connected to the computer and its on the router as a network printer. Its shared by a desktop and laptop running Win7 and 2 Linux servers. A USB connection to Win7 would probably give some trouble.

Thanks for some light, me thinks xp is most likely the most compatable system for software and hardware, I had all that trouble with vista on my daughters laptop and found out that anti-virus software was stopping updates etc now w 7 more agro, I was thinking of getting rid of my old machine with xp but its so reliable and stable.
With much Thanks,
Monty
