Then the size of your Office install is 209MB. From where did you get the 4+GIG size of Office that you described in your original post.

Yes I have don all that. What the problem is, the program itself is taking
4094mb in itself. I need to uninstall and reinstall but I can not do that
because I am afraid the CD that Dell sent me will not work because it will
not reinstall. It stops after loading halfway and I have to abort it.

Nothing is load onto my computer from the several times I have tried. A
window comes up after I abort and says the program has been unsuccessful in
loading. The 4094 mb has been there for months I saved my documents and
deleted them and the mb's stays the same. Dell said if I did that it would
correct the problem that I had too many documents and pictures saved on it.
No that was not the problem obviously.
You can't try it out on another computer? Have you defragged your hard
drive and cleaned out temp files lately?

I would not have MS Office and can not afford to buy one. MS Office runs
just fine there is no problems with it wxcept it is taking too much of my
hard drive memory.
How do you know that your Office CD is corrupt? It sounds like you've
installed it several times and therefore the size. Perhaps you could try
and install it on another computer and, if it works, don't activate it
and uninstall it. Then you will know if the CD is really corrupt or not.
If it is corrupt, you can either call Dell and get another one or borrow
the same version/type CD from a friend and use your product key.

I have one CD for MS Office Basic Edition 2003, I saved all my documents onto
a stick then tried to reinstall with this CD but it comes up after half way
of downloading as an error. I did not write down the code it was very long.
It askes for a retry and I click on it but it does not work. It also give me
the option at the beginning of the Process to uninstall then I can install it
again but I am afraid to do that because the CD has a defect in it.
You did uninstall Office before attempting to reinstall it, right?

Any suggestions on what to do. Microsoft says to contact Dell. Dell Does

Do you have an Office 03 CD? One or two? Or four?

reinstall it from the disk Dell sent with the computer and it will not load
there is an error. Called Dell. That is a joke.
Definitely something wrong. My copy of 03 takes up 261MB on an XP Pro
machine.
