Do you have the original disk for Windows?

Do you have any Office CDs?Hi,

I think it was already on my computer when i got it.

Thanks for the replyNo i dont.

You will need Office CD's and or the original Restore CD's for the machine from the manufacturer to fix this....
Meanwhile your Word documents should open with Wordpad...Start/Programs/Accessories.

Another option WOULD be to DLoad and install Open Office...MS compatible and FREE.well- what you've done is- as I'm sure you're aware- uninstalled Office/Word. Performing a system restore made your PC think it was INSTALLED- but because the files no longer exist the Installer kicks-in everytime you use a feature from office (there are a lot of shell extensions and such, which is why it appears all the time).

If the PC has a recovery partition or came with a recovery CD, you can back up your documents and data to another drive and run through the recovery process, which will put your PC into a Like-New state.

Either that, or get/borrow the Office CD to allow the install to replace your installation.
