convinced 2003 does not work with win 7 64 bit

[khoopes]

i have a windows 7, 64 bit system with 24 gigs of mem, and trying to run office 2003 on it. the weird thing is that office itself does run on windows but I can't do anything else with out the sytem acting really really slow. with outlook or word up. I can't open a folder without the system taking about 6 to 10 seconds before it does it. same as with trying to move a folder from one side of the screen to the other, again about 6 to 10 seconds. close 2003, and everything moves super fast. I can open anything in a instant, move it from one side to the next like it is flying. Open word or outlook and they go back to crowling really slow. I have 2003 up to sp3 and the patch required from the lawsuit on... anybody else having these problems. I have office 2010 on now and everything works super fast.. but the person wants office 2003, doesn't like change.

"XP Mode" - It's a VHD (Virtual Hard Drive) of XP Pro that runs (pre-activated) ONLY on Windows 7 as a VM. Start Seven, start XP Pro (on the Virtual Machine), install O-2k3 on it and run from there.

See this.
