deleted ms office

[Guest]

MS Office was deleted from my computer and I would like to know if there is
any way to restore it or download it again. However, it should be noted that
my C drive doesn't work.

I think that would be a no....

Seriously

You can't download office you need to buy it, if you haven't already. And
what do you mean "your C drive doesn't work"

MS Office was deleted from my computer

Who deleted it? How? How do you know?

and I would like to know if
there is any way to restore it

If it's truly been uninstalled, no..

or download it again.

You could never have downloaded it in the first place (at least not
legally). It's commercial software for sale, and downloading it isn't
permitted.

On the other hand, if you mean "install," not "download," if you have the
installation media, yes, you can certainly install it again.

However, it
should be noted that my C drive doesn't work.

What does that mean? What drive is your C: drive? Hard drive? CD drive? Why
doesn't it work? What happens when you try to use it?

I accidentally deleted it while trying to free up some memory in "Add/Remove
Programs" because it said the software hadn't been used in a year. I
mistakenly figured that if it said it hadn't been used, then it truly hadn't
been used. But I use MS Word quite a bit. We received this computer as a
hand-me-down from my mother-in-law, and the software was already installed.
And by C drive I mean CD drive, (sorry for the confusion). We were told it
didn't work when we got it, and when I load a CD it does nothing. I don't
have the money to invest in new software right now, any suggestions? Thanks
so much for your help.

Do you have the installation CD for it? If not, you're out of luck. You can
buy another copy, or you can acquire another Office Suite which may suit
your needs. Both WordPerfect Office and StarOffice are less expensive than
Microsoft Office, and OpenOffice is free and can be downloaded. Depending on
what features are important to you, Open Office may be fine, so I'd
recommend at least giving it a try.

If the CD drive doesn't work, I strongly suggest you get it replaced. You'll
need it to install any office suite you get on CD, as well as any other
software you might want to buy. And if you ever need to reinstall Windows,
you'll need it then too. Fortunately CD drives are very inexpensive now. You
can find them for under $20.

Thanks so much
for your help.

You're welcome. Glad to help.
