I recently reinstalled Works Suite after my computer crashed a couple of months ago. Installation was successful. Now it's gone. What would make that happen?

 

It's not gone. It's just hiding from you.

 

I checked everywhere. Can't find it.

 

I've been down this road at least a half dozen times with co-workers.

Let's put it this way. If you plant a tree in your yard; what is the chance it's going to just vanish? Exactly. Neither did your software.

 

I'm not an expert on computer prgramming. I just checked under add/remove programs and it's not there either. So if I try to reintall again, it will stop me if I already have it hiding somwhere?

 

yep, the other thing you can do is pay attention to where it's installing too (c:\program files\microsoft works <-- something like that) then go into windows explorer and see if it's there. It should install icons on your desktop or start menu though. Pay attention to all the prompts/messages that come up too. Might be such a thing as it wants to install only a certain way. Software that comes with a computer can do crap like that. Good Luck.

 

Yeah....the icons were all there after re-installation. Now gone? Thanks for the advice. I'll try that.

 

Thanks! Nope, not there. Don't know what could have happened. I'll try reinstalling and see what happens.

 

You have Microsoft Works installed in a Microsoft Office directory??

 

I believe it actaully calls itself Office when it installs.

 

So could it be somewhere else I haven't looked? I didn't reinstall yet. Saving it for tomorrow.

 

I believe only part of it goes there. The suite includes Word, which would go in the office directory. Works should have it's own directory.
I will have to verify that when I get home this afternoon.

 

Looks about right; I suppose. I was just clarifying Works is not Office.
