Hi, I uninstalled msworks from my computer but now decided I want (need) it
back. Is there a way to re-install it on my laptop?
Sure. Simply re-install it from the original installation media from
which you first installed it.
Since vista on laptop
doesnt come with system cds i guess it must be possible to do over the
internet or something but I can't find out how.
No, the installation of Vista has absolutely nothing to do with it, as
Microsoft Works is an entirely separate application suite that must be
purchased and installed separately from the OS. Microsoft Works comes
pre-installed on new computers only when the computer manufacturer
chooses to offer it, and the purchaser is willing to pay extra for it.
There will have been installation disks among the documentation, etc.,
that came with the computer. If you've since lost them, contact the
computer manufacturer; if you never received them, contact the vendor
from whom you purchased the computer.
As an aside, why is microsoft so cheap and only give out works (which is
like 15 years old and rubbish) with vista basic instead of office? Another
cheapo scheme?
Again, Microsoft has nothing to do with it. Direct these questions
towards the computer manufacturer.
Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor Microsoft Works,
nor any of their 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.
