Lost Excel, Access, Word and PowerPoint

[Guest]

I had got a error message: STOP: c0000218{Registry File Failure} the registry
cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE. Ok, I did
the data recovery; reinstalled WindowsXP Home, did my service pack2 and I
still do not have Word, Excel, Access or PowerPoint. How can I get my
programs back? I need them for school. I believe everything is Microsoft
2000.

You'll just need to reinstall them. The files are probably there, but the
registry settings aren't, anymore.

These programs are not a part of Windows XP, they are MS Office programs.
You may need to reinstall them separately.

Thank you both for your assistance. I'll try now.

 

[Guest]

Same thing happened to me. Have you figured out how to get them back?

Having re-installed XP, you'll have to re-install MSOFFICE too.
Provided you did not re-format the hdd when you reinstalled XP, any
"workfiles" you had (excel, Word, etc) will still be there - you just need
to re-install OFFICE to use them!
And don't forget to use Update to get the OFFICE updates)

Kelc42:

I borrowed a friend of mine CD that has MSOffice on it. I priced the Office
2003 for students and it didn't include Access which I needed for my class
and it ran $139 and some change from Wal-Mart, but the Wal-Mart by my house
didn't carry the Professional version.

Only if you ordered the computer with the pre-installed, or purchased
and installed them later.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.

if i do have it can you tell me where to get it on this pc?thanks

Click Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office. If the start menu
shortcuts don't exist, you most likely don't have the applications
installed. To be certain, do a simple file search for "Winword.exe,"
"Access.exe," "Excel.exe," and/or "Powerpnt.exe." If none of these
files exist on your hard drive, you don't have Office installed.
