Re: "Lost" MS Word.....

Thank you again Daave! I found in Belarc but not in Add/Remove, my Home
Version MS WinXP whiich is:

Microsoft - Windows XP Home Edition 76477-007-5473072-21271 (Key:
KB2GB-MH82V-Q649M-QPD2K-PQ2RW)


Is MS Word included in the WinXP??? If so I do have the CD for this! But
if not, I'll try to borrow it and then I can use the above key with it?

Part 2: :o) Before I got the WinXP Home Edition some techi urged me to
buy the professional version and I thought I had deleted it from Add/Remove
but it's still there...Do you think I should keep trying to delete it?
However, it doesn't show my WinXP Home Edition. Is there a way to put it
there? I never noticed these things until I started searching around for
Word. Please forgive my confusion...

I think, but not sure, that when I deleted XP Pro from Add/Remove...it was
when I noticed I had lost Word. Could it be?

Thanks so much for all your help and patience! Adela

Thank you Daave; I can't find my Word CD that I got about 2 or 3 years
ago, so I'm trying to remember (unsuccessfully) exactly the version I
have so I could buy it again and end my aggravation. It's an old version
(that's all I need) so it should cost little. I think it's maybe the
2002 version or something, but not sure. Any ideas how I can find out?

Yes.

Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs

Scroll down to the Microsoft Office entry. Which type is it? These are the
different versions of Office XP (which you said Belarc Advisor reported):

. Microsoft Office XP Small Business Edition
. Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition for Students and Teachers
. Microsoft Office XP Professional
. Microsoft Office XP Standard Edition
. Microsoft Office XP Developer Edition

Also, note the Product Key and write it down. This way you won't need to
purchase another license. However, you will still need to obtain the disk.
I would imagine you would be able to borrow it from someone you know. Make
sure it's the same version. And I recommend you make a copy of the disk,
too.

Belarc Advisor gives me this version: "Microsoft Office XP Version
10.0.6835 * " Would this be it? On hovering over it I read:
"Winword.exe Microsoft Word Size:10745184 bytes date: modified 9-17-07"
and thetime. Does it mean this includes the Word???

Yes, Microsoft Word is part of the Microsoft Office suite.

I hesitate to try the Windows Installer CleanUp utility for fear it may
interfere with something else, as it did with my OE spellcheck. So I
thought I'd wait until either I can get it back, or until I can find out
what version I have so I can buy it again. I just can't remember as all
versions have the years and one of 2 or 3 words as names - not conducive
to remember as if they were called, say, "MS Office Daisy" or "Bluesky"
etc. ;^)

If you would rather not fix your problem, that is your choice; many people
would rather pay a technician to do this. No problem with that; just make
sure you find a reputable one, and don't use a chain store!

Thanks again, and also for the link, Daave, I read it but I'm afraid to
modify the registry. Never went into my computer's entrails. I never
excelled in the art of computer high tech.... :o) Adela

If you ever do want to try the techy stuff, the best thing you could do is
purchase an external hard drive and a copy of Acronis True Image. Make an
image of your hard drive. Then, if you ever damage anything, simply
restore the image you made, and it will be as if nothing happened!

P.S. Could you and/or others let me know whether it's permissible to
answer to all on one
email, or should it be answered to each person separately?

If you e-mail us, then no one else will see our conversation. :-)

But something tells me you didn't mean to use the term e-mail. That's
probably because you're using Outlook Express to access this newsgroup,
and OE is also used for e-mail, of course.

Anyway, respond to whomever you wish to respond to. If you don't respond
to my post, I'll still see your response, so don't worry. If I have
something to add, I will. :-)
