Problems with programs

[molehole10]

Hello,
I am receiving side by side errors when trying to open windows office and Quickbooks. When searching these errors, I was told I need to reinstall windows 7. I don't mind doing this, but where can I get the program without purchasing it or will a set of recovery discs work? If so, how do I get the recovery disc. No discs came with my laptop.

most manufactures either allow you to download an image and burn it to a cd, or they will mail you a disk for a small fee. $10-20

If no recovery disks came with your laptop, there should be a provision for burning them from somewhere on the hard drive.
