Office 2000 Professional on a New Gateway Tablet PC

Yes, but Gateway and other large OEMs will usually ship a "recovery disk"
that has Windows, their drivers, and other applications on it. Did you
receive one of these? What happens if you put it in when it is requested?

After furious head scratching, Chad asked:

| So let me make sure I have this correct. I should contact Gateway

Yes, I received on of these, but I did not even try it because I did not know
that this actually contains the OS, I thought that it was just drivers, etc.
I will try it and let you know.
