Office XP gone?

[ryandun101]

I have had office xp for years, I downloaded office 2007 trial version,
installed it, ran fine, just didn't like it. I uninstalled per directions,
now I can't get my office xp back. nothing there, nada, zilch, gone for
good? I can't find my cd, but I do have the CD key, is there anyway to locate
or get back my office xp. I miss my office! Can MS offer any kind of help in
this matter ... for free?? Not paying 49 bucks to them to have them answer
this question... any ideas???

If you can *prove* purchase you may be able to obtain replacement disks - a
key is not proof of purchase -

normally when you install another version of office the prior one is not
deleted...

it should be still on your computer

Microsoft no longer has Office XP for replacement.

You could try a system restore. Use your system backup, image or clone that
you used before installing new software. If none exists, consider it a
lesson for next time.
