I bought my presario with Office XP already installed on it and there is no
disk for it in my pack of documents. I bought my computer in Sept. of 2004,
so Compaq won't help me without me forking over $45. I received notice there
was an update for Office XP service pack 3. I didn't think anything of it
and told it to install. A few moments later it said that I need to put in
the Office XP Professional disk (that I do not have) to continue. When I
click out of this, it says there was a fatal error while installing the
update. It will not let me open my excel documents, which is where I keep
"everything.

Please help me. I am sure I am not the only one with this problem.

Thank you so very much.
