IF IT IS GONE, HOW DO I GET IT BACK?

I TRIED SYSTEM RESTORE, IT DIDN'T WORK.
PLEASE HELP!

Stop panicking.

As stated, System Restore will not help you. I am growing fond of my
new axiom: "System Restore is not a time machine".

I would be pretty sure your Microsoft Office applications (I assume
that's what you mean) are still installed, but maybe you just don't
see them where you think they should be after your update.

Is your problem that if you go to Start, Programs you're missing the
Microsoft Office option/folder? Do you see all your other installed
programs?

If that is the case, what to do next depends on the requested system
information (winver) AND the version of Microsoft Office you think
have installed. Check in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or
Remove Programs and see if Microsoft Office is listed and what it says
- exactly.

If that is not the problem, then try to describe your problem in more
detail about what you think you should see that you do not see.

Jose
