Reinstall without uninstall

[RENEE]

Windows Vista Ultimate totally and without warning - crashed my computer and
would not even allow me to boot up. Tried all suggestions regarding my
problem - nothing worked. Naturally, had to reformat the entire computer
back to as it was when purchased (HP computer). I have Office 2007 Student
edition and all 3 are used up (one was in the crashed computer). Want to
reinstall it in this same computer, but, naturally was unable to uninstall it
first. Who do I contact re permission to reactivate? Thanks.

You don't. Reformat and, if needed, use the telephone activation methodwhen
you reinstall Office.

Just reinstall it. Of course, you'll have to enter the 25-digit key. When
you activate Office, it should recognize that this is one of the three
original computers and just tell you it's activated. In the unlikely event
that it complains, it will show you a telephone number to call Microsoft and
explain the circumstances.

Office 2007 Home and Student means that you can have it installed and used
on three computers at the same time not the number of times you install
Office.

Since you reformated one computer you now have Offie 2007 Home and Student
installed an being used on only two computers. Just use your installation
disc and install again the the computer your reformated.

If the internet activations does not work you will be provided a Microsoft
number to call. Just explain what happened and they will telll what to do.
