missing program

[Guest]

For some odd reason, my Microsoft Works program has disappeared off of my
hard drive. I didn't uninstall it and I can't find the program to reinstall
it. My question are, how might this have happened, and how I can get it back,
without having to re-do my entire hard drive.

Thanks in advance.

You could get rid of all the MS stuff and ger the FREE Open Office
suite which does the same thing and is compatable with MS files. It
contains:-

Writer – a word processor you can use for anything from writing a
quick letter to producing an entire book.

Calc – a powerful spreadsheet with all the tools you need to
calculate, analyse, and present your data in numerical reports or
sizzling graphics.

Impress – the fastest, most powerful way to create effective
multimedia presentations.

Draw – lets you produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D
illustrations.

Base – lets you manipulate databases seamlessly. Create and modify
tables, forms, queries, and reports, all from within OpenOffice.org

Math – lets you create mathematical equations with a graphic user
interface or by directly typing your formulas into the equation
editor.

Have no idea how it could have happened, but the only suggestion unless you
have used Acronis or Ghost for imaging your hard drive is to use system
restore to a time before Works disappeared.

How do you know? Are you sure it's not just that the shortcut to it in Start
| Programs is gone?
