Is WYSIWYG incompatible with Vista?

[Erik4]

I have Windows Vista with MS Word 2003 and installed RoboHelp X5. When I opened my project that I had been editing on a Windows XP machine with the same version of Word, I get a warning: "Unable to load component 4." The project then loads but the WYSIWYG tab isn't visible and when I double-click on a topic to view it, it opens in my internet browser.
I have installed the X5.0.1 update, this did not fix the problem, I then installed X5.0.2 update and this didn't help either.

Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum

X5 is not supported on Vista. However look in Snippets on my site. There is some informtion about RoboHelp and Vista.

Are you saying there's no way I can get the WYSIWYG back up with Vista? Even with another version of Word?

I am not saying anything other than Adobe will not provide official support so I have posted what I have seen. I am not going to run Vista right now so I can't comment. However, from the post http://tinyurl.com/3ykls7, it does look as if people have been able to make it run.
