1.	Solve : Lost CD Case?
Answer» All right, I lost the case (AKA threw it out in a fit of stupidity) to my microsoft word cds. I had to uninstall it a while back, and now I can't reinstall because i don't have the code. Is there any way to recover it? I heard you can call and pay for it, but then I also heard you can't do that anymore. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.If it's uninstalled and you don't have the number Microsoft is your only hope, and probably a "slim chance to none" proposition.Aw, crud. Well thank you for trying to help; it's greatly appreciated.No problem. I would be eager to hear what Microsoft has to say. The TERM "proof of purchase" comes to mind.I don't think that you can retrieve it after uninstalling the program but you never know. Try using the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and see if that will do it. Maybe you have a small Word booklet with the number on it somewhere. [ch1046]You can also use Open Office, sponsored by Sun Microsystems, which will read all your Word .doc documents and excel, access and POWERPOINT as well. Open Office is freeware. Comes in Russian too.
