Yes it works fine in xp, sp pro, xp pro with sp, no problems works great just did it when I found this at a local thrift sho still in the box an dit is the perfect publishing program for the beginners also.

Yes we have used Home Publishing 99 for years on an XP desktop. Unfortunately it won't work properly with Windows 7 and gives an ocx error message. All it would do was open files already saved. It wasn't possible to start new projects or print two sided projects. I solved this by installing VMware Player on my Windows 7 machine then installed a virtual copy of XP. You do need a legitimate XP CD and validation key though. You then have the use of those programs which defy Compatibility mode but work under XP proper. If you can't get Home Publishing running under XP and compatibility mode is no go I suggest you first uninstall the program and delete the folder. I remember getting Home Publishing working after a free download and installation of Microsoft Digital Imaging 6 and Clip Gallery. Home Publishing's such an intuitive and capable program that it's a shame Microsoft have buried it. Publisher may do more but it's expensive and not something you can use straight off. Microsoft Home Publishing should work on XP if you persevere. It's OK too on XP mode from Windows 7. The neat thing about VMware is that you can run VMPlayer from Windows 7 Home. You don't need Windows 7 Professional.
The standard desktop applications of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Outlook will not run if you download them onto a Windows XP or Vista machine. It needs at least Windows 7.
No. I wish I could find a way to make it compatible. Does anyone know of a way to make it compatible with Windows 7??
Windows 98 home publishing is for Windows 98. Windows 98 programs don't work well on Windows XP sometimes.
go to it
yes
It's not going to happen. What you can do is to use Virtual Machine for Windows 7, which is free and allows to run applications design for Windows XP on Windows 7 machines.
If you still have the Microsoft Works 2000 software package, or I suppose, have the single purchased Microsoft Home Publishing 2000 product, then simply load Home Publishing on your Vista computer. No need to upgrade to another product if you are currently happy with the Home Publishing capabilities. I did it with Works. You first use the Setup Disk (1) then it asks for Disk 2 - on one of these inputs you can choose to "custom" install and then pick only the Home Publishing product. When it wants to upgrade you to IE version 5, let it go and Vista will ask if you want to do that then you can say NO. Next it wants Disk 4 for the Home Publishing Disk and the product will be fully installed. This puts a Microsoft Works Icon on the desktop. But to simplify things, move that Icon to the trash can and bypass directly to Home Publishing by "Exploring" to Program Files\Microsoft Home Publishing 2000. Right Click on the HPUB application and send a shortcut to the desktop. I have not fully explored the program's execution on Vista but created a single page Calendar and confirmed that I can also access and, therefore, print all my old greeting card projects.

Essentially there are three that Microsoft still makes available for general home use: Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
On a computer with both Windows Vista and either Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installed, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 deletes any existing System Restore points belonging to Windows Vista during boot. Microsoft confirms this issue but maintains that it is a fundamental function of the way XP works and cannot be changed. According to Microsoft, the solution is to install Windows Vista on a separate partition invisible to XP.
Microsoft Windows XP is Microsoft's 5th revision of Windows NT. Windows XP is based off Windows 2000 and unified the Home and Business lines of OS. Previously, Windows NT up to Windows 2000 was a business orientated OS while Windows 95 to Windows ME was a home oriented OS. Windows Vista is Microsoft's 6th revision of Windows NT and introduced may new features including updated security and a new graphical user interface caller Aero.
