Has anyone had their window start to draw at a lower resolution than what the desktop is set to?
My res is set to 1280x1024, but when I open any office2007 program its drawn as, I speculate, a lower resolution like 1024 or 800? I can't find anything in the view, tools, or options that would make this happen so I'm very confused?

See linked screen for example:

I had to uninstall Office 2003 before it would install correctly.

Ah - too many lock-ups at this point. Had to uninstall it and go back to Office 2003. I'll jump in the testing next release.

It's actually against the law to be running this copy of Office 2007. User beware!

Eh? How is it against the law?

Anyways... I think I have to wait a few days to get the Vista Beta as the MS servers are getting hammered atm.

Not true.

The Office 2007 beta is officially a public release and you will be sent a key by Microsoft via e-mail after signing up.

Installed the Vista and Office betas on a free hd. I think, I will become a fan of both. Running nicely, had some issues with drivers for my integrated 3com Gigabit LOM and Soundblaster audigy, but the xp driver for the 1st works flawlessly and creative has a beta driver for vista, so everything is good.

Now is there any thread listing Stardock programs that don't work or have problems with Vista ?

WB won't run on Vista. They got a version them self that works, but none availible to the public. Last week a beta of DesktopX was released that was said to support Vista. I've heard reports that ObjectDock woks, but there might be issues. Not sure about the rest. I'd like to try out Vista myself now, but I got London Show to prepare to next week and that takes priority.
