I have lost the installation cd that came with this os.
Now for the first time in three years it is asking for
the cd. Every time that I open excel, word, internet
explorer or powerpoint a message pops up about
installing "windows xp professional with front page" then
it asks for the cd which I don't have. so I push cancel
and with the exception of word all of the programs open.
I am a poor student who needs word to finish an
assignment tonight is there anything I can do?
 
Windows XP Professional does not come with Front Page.

If you purchased Microsoft software at retail:

"How to replace lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326246

If your Microsoft software was pre-installed by the vendor, you'll have to
contact the vendor and plead your case. They are under no obligation to
replace lost installation CDs.

Pump the F10 key at startup if the recovery screen comes
up do a non-destuctive recovery.
