I have Windows XP Home Edition, I just had to reinstall it because of some
bad files messing up my system. I am up and running but I can't find my Main
Programs I had before like Microsoft Word, Tasks, Excel etc... Where are
they or what do I have to do to get them back? HELP!

Wanda, reinstalling Windows XP will mean you wiped everything except
Windows off the computer - Windows XP does not come with Word, Excel or
much else.

If you check your disks, depending on the vendor, you should have
another set for your applications, and another set for your computer
specific device drivers.

Do you have any other CD's?

Thank You for responding so quickly! These are the three dics I have Gateway
Operating System Windows XP Home Edition Version 1.3, Gateway Applications,
& Gateway Drivers Version 23.7. I know when I bought my computer I didn't
have to buy any extra programs. I am so confused. I am working from my home
and I need my computer to do so.
Thank You
Wanda

Wanda, the "gateway applications..." disk is the one you need to
install, it should have all your software on it. Insert the Applications
disk and see if it "auto starts" and displays something that you can use
to install the applications. If not, there may be a autorun file you can
double click on on that CD - or a SETUP, or some other setup type
program.

Let us know if that works for you.

Is it showing a program like Microsoft "Works"? Word may be within that.

What did it say it was installing from the Applications CD?

If it's not on the 3 CD's you got from the vendor, then someone
installed it for you or you don't have all your CD's.

Wanda;
Gateway probably installed loaded all of these disks before you bought the
computer.
You need to load the Gateway Drivers as well. On my system, I get to Word,
Excell, etc. through the start menu.
