You'll have to call your computer manufacturer's tech support number. They
can tell you how to access the hidden partition where Works resides.

My computer was preloaded with Works(which is now not working after I
loaded Office Beta.
I don't have the Works CD to reload the program. What are my options?

you can never tell. Your .pst file (where everything is stored in

should be fine. If you need to create a new mail profile, you can
configure
it to use your current .pst file. (Formats are the same in OL 2003 and
2007).
