Compatibility issues with Windows Vista & earlier Office version

I was told when I bought my Notebook that I would be able to install a 2000 or newer version of Microsoft Office. I am currently attempting to install Office XP 2002 Professional and it's not happnin'. I went to Microsoft's website to determine compatibility and even installed a toolkit that still didn't fix the problem. Is this possible? Is it because my version of Office specifically says Office XP? Am I able to perhaps install the Office 2003 version and download something from Microsoft then to allow compatibility?

So frustrated! Not a fan of Vista Office at all....

Thanks much!

Office XP is mostly compatible. Outlook has an issue with not being able to save your email password. Have you tried installing it in compatibilty mode? Don't install it by the autorun from the CD. Browse to the installation program on the CD. Right click on it and on the Compatibilty tab set it to XP SP2 and Run this program as an administrator.
