open & to re-install works.Where does this program come from & how do I get
it.?Thanks

You buy it from a store. Sometimes it comes bundled on new computers.
It is not part of XP.

Most often you need a new version of MS works with every new version of
Windows. By design.

Tell us what file it says is missing. I don't know much about
Works myself, but it's possible that someone else here has a
suggestion for you.

Chances are, though, that if it says to reinstall Works, that's
what you'll need to do. If you don't have a Works CD, you should
contact the vendor from whom you bought the computer for help.
 
1st has anyone suggested using system restore to recover the Microsoft
works files back to the time before the computer was messed up.

2nd Some Microsoft works program can be repaired by using Add/remove
program if it is still listed their.


It could be legal, some oem companies bundle Microsoft works with
their systems.
