How can I reinstall my microsoft excel?
This is my problem. My CD-Rom quit working and nothing would fix it. A
friend of ours told us to do a complete system restore. I didn't back up my programs and I lost all of my microsoft office programs. And my CD-Rom still doesn't work. How do I reinstall? |

Hi
When you have a possibility to connect to some other computer (through LAN), then share out CD-ROM in another computer, map it to your computer (yo must have file and printer sharing installed), and then install Office from mapped resource. Otherwise, when you have USB port in your computer, and you have or can borrow an USB flasch memory stick, find another computer with working CD-ROM and USB port, copy contents of Office CD onto flasch memory stick, transfer them into your computers hard disk and start Setup from there (Or try to install Office directly from flasch memory stick). The last option is take out your hard disk, install it into another computer with working CD-ROM as slave and copy Office CD contents to your hard disk, install your hard disk back into your computer (don't forget to restore master/slave settings of your HD), and then install Office from your HD.

And you may want to visit your local BestBuy/Office Max/CompUSA store and order
a new CD. You can get a new one pretty cheap. shell4577 wrote: This is my problem. My CD-Rom quit working and nothing would fix it. A friend of ours told us to do a complete system restore.

That sounds very confusing to me. Could you please tell me this again in
easy to follow step by step form?

My CD Rom doesn't work any clues about that? It tells me I/O Device error-E
is not accessible. That is the reason I now have the problem with the loss of programs.

No idea.
You could google for the error, your CDROM manufacturer's name and the driver name. Maybe you'll find something. shell4577 wrote: My CD Rom doesn't work any clues about that?

Hi
As it's obvious you aren't able to find out yourself, what is wrong with your CD-ROM (lose cable connection, it's simply broken, corrupted driver, motherboard damage), and how to correct this, and as it's nearly impossible to help you without having colse look at your comp, the best you can do about it is locate the store you bought your comp, and let them repair it. When there is a problem with your hardware (CD-ROM), (not with software,) then maybe it even falls under guarantee (depends how old is your comp). Anyway it will be mended in one way or another. -- Arvi Laanemets (When sending e-mail, use address arvil<Attarkon.ee) "shell4577" wrote in message ... My CD Rom doesn't work any clues about that?

Connect your computer to some LAN (local area network). It can be LAN at your work or at school, etc. Probably you have to get a permission for this from network administrator, ans possibly his help too. Or it can be a home LAN - a couple of computers connected through switch or router. You must have according protocols installed (depends on LAN you connect). In another computer, in network properties check, is File and Printer Sharing installed. When yes, share it's CD-ROM (in Windows explorer, right-click on CD-ROM icon, select Sharing from drop-down, and share it as read-only without password (Win98) or to evryone (WinXP). Insert the install CD into CD-ROM - when it starts automatically, close the setup window. In your computer, locate another computer in network neighborhood (entire network in WindowsXP), and open it. It's shared resources are displayed. Right-click on shared CD-ROM icon, and from dropdown select Map Network Drive. Map it under some free letter (p.e. your own CD-ROM is D, and E is free, so you can map it as E). In Windows Explorer windows, explore mapped drive (E:). Locate Setup.exe and start it. (Probably you need some assistance from someone familiar with networking - especially when any computer involved has WinXP as OS. For detailed instructions tere are too much variations, depending both computers OS, LAN type, etc.) Otherwise, when you have USB port in your computer, and you have or can borrow an USB flasch memory stick, find another computer with working CD-ROM and USB port, copy contents of Office CD onto flasch memory stick, transfer them into your computers hard disk and start Setup from there (Or try to install Office directly from flasch memory stick). You have an USB flasch memory stick. Both your comp, and another one, must be able to recognize it. With WinXP as OS, there probably will not be any problems - most memory sticks are recognized and connected automatically, when inserted into USB slot. When OS is Win98, the USB device must be installed before first use from CD, or from manufacturer homepage. Insert flasch device into another computers USB port, and wait until it's connected. Insert CD (close startup window, when it starts). Start Windows Explorer, and copy contents of CD to flasch device {when there isn't enough room, consult someone (p.e. the store which sold to you MS Office, or MS Online Support - p.e. we here have one, where we can get some consultations through phone), which subfolders are necessary}. Insert flasch device into your computers USB port. Start Windows Explorer, locate setup.exe/install.exe on flasch device, and start it. (When it doesn't start somehow, copy all from flashc device into some empty folder on your computer, and start the setup from there.) The last option is take out your hard disk, install it into another computer with working CD-ROM as slave and copy Office CD contents to your hard disk, install your hard disk back into your computer (don't forget to restore master/slave settings of your HD), and then install Office from your HD. OK. When you decide to try this, then maybe yo find some friend more familiar with hardware, and let him do all this hard disk moving part. So your work starts, when you have contants of install CD on your hard disk. Start the setup, and continue. -- Arvi Laanemets (When sending e-mail, use address arvil<Attarkon.ee) |

Thanks for your help. I was just thinking of buying a new CD Rom and then
re-installing the software. I just don't know when I will be able to buy the CD Rom so I was just hoping I could somehow get Excel running again until I replaced my Rom. We'll see what happens. Thanks again.
