Your operating system does not meet system requirements
This template could not be downloaded automatically because your operating
system does not meet the requirements for downloading Office Online templates.


To automatically download templates, you need to upgrade your operating
system:
Run Microsoft Windows® 2000 (Service Pack 3) or any later version of
Microsoft Windows. Please note that Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and
Windows ME do not meet the requirements for downloading Office Online
templates.


BUT I AM USING WINDOW VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM !
thank you for your reply

I've heard of people getting that message if they are using a Mac but not a
PC. Did your computer come with Vista or did you upgrade to it?

Do you have the Microsoft Office Template and Media Control enabled? In Internet
Explorer, Tools, Manage Add-ons. Show: All add-ons. Scroll down to Microsoft.

Is your Security set at Medium High? Can you accept ActiveX components?
Is this successful when you go to this site?

Take a look at your security settings. They should be set at medium-high for you
to be able to accept the ActiveX control.
There is help here
Downloading clips, templates, and training with the ActiveX control
