Your vendor must have (or should have) given you a CD to restore your system. If they are genuinely Microsoft approved vendors (M$ partners to sleep with uncle Bill) then they are required to supply something to enable customers restore their system to factory standard. Failure that, I suggest search google for OEM software and you will get millions prepared to sell you M$ software for a fraction of the price. I can see you can buy both OS professional and Office 2003 professional for $50.

If you are in the UK then I can supply you with the media for £10 and you can use this in association with your CD-key to reinstall/format your hard disk. I can also supply you one with CD-key (VLK) which requires no activation for £20. For security reasons, I expect people to supply me their email address (free hotmail or yahoo would do) so that I can contact then privately. The choice is yours.

Hope this proves useful.

I use non Microsoft products wherever possible which requires no activation.
I use Netscape 7.2 as my default browser which has everything I need for my work.
