Hi. I recently installed XP SP 2. Everything ran fine. No problems at
all.

Well, today I had something I had to do in MS Word. I clicked
Start/Programs and searched for MS Works. Not there! I tried going thru my
Windows Explorer and it is not on my machine at all. Very odd. Does anyone
have any ideas as to what could have happened? And how I can get it back?
Thanks
Robin
 
Word or works? If you need to do something in MS Word, why are you searching
for Works?
