Command prompt, this  computer is different from my one a work.

Other easier way - click start, click run.  Type winword /a in box, hit enter key.
Same for winword /r.

Hope that helps - sorry i'm used to command prompt but don't use vista as its crap (despite microsoft giving (yes giving) me a free 12 licence copy!!

What does he need fdisk for? Is he going to need to wipe all his installation and repartition?  A bit drastic!!!
Agree XP Pro now good op system - especially now SP3 out.

Delete your normal.dot file - a reinstall will keep your original file intact.  Then open word again.

Sorry its not - have used up a number of installs on multi-boot systems and once MS sort out the issues with SP releases may well need those licences!!  Sorry but worth asking!

OK so you don't need to wipe the drive - I suppose that helps.

I'm staying SP2 for a while - it works. Too much DRM nonsence in Vista, they actually encrypt the data between components, it was designed to keep RIAA happy.

I think if MS drop XP pirating will go through the roof
