Hi,



I have had to do a system recovery and have lost office. It is on my old

disk structure which I have copied over to my new program files.

Unfortunately I haven't got the CD anymore. How can I get it going again?

if you performed a

factory restore,



that is you executed

the process of restoring

the machine back to its

original state when it

left the factory,



then unfortunately

you're out of luck w/o

your installation cd.



----------------



however, in the interim

and until you purchase

office again,



you can use the open

source freeware version

of office called open

office.



if you have documents

stored on removable

media,



then the freeware can

access word documents

and buy you some time.

Hi db,



Thanks for the advice!



Do you know how I can access any of my emails that I had in Outlook?

Tor,

The freeware will not give you Outlook. I tried. I di download Office

2010 Beta. Works PERFECT! Has Outlook. It's good until October. By then,

you can decide to buy 2010, 2007, or whatever you need. Personally- I Love

it!

Thanks!

you're welcome.



however, I have some bad

news.



unfortunately, if you executed

a factory restore,



then everything on the disk

was wiped away.



the disk was basically reset

with all the original software

that came with the machine

at the time it left the factory.



however, if you have an

email account with your isp

and outlook was configured

to download messages from

your isp email service,



then perhaps there are

copies of the emails stored

on your isp's server in your

web email account.



for example:



at&t provides internet services

and email accounts to its

customers as well.



so if outlook was set up to

retrieve emails from your at&

email account,



then there may be copies

of your emails stored in your

email account with at&t.
