    I think that Works 8.5 was launched after Office 2003 and hence I dont think that office 2003 will recognize it as a qualifying product. Also I believe that Microsoft Works 9.0 is fully compatible with Windows Vista, so you can try to install the latter version in compatibility mode and then see if that is working in Windows 7 or not.

    I have seen that Microsoft Works 9 version is compatible with Windows 7 on 32 bit of its operating system only, however if you have the 64 bit version of Windows 7 then you will face some crashes with the Microsoft Works 9 version. In any case you can download the same from searching it on the net and install it on your pc, there is no need to install additional patch to get it working.
