I have a HP pavilion that I had to use the Partition-
Based system recover program on to repair some things
that went funny on me. After that, I went directly to
Windows Update and d/l and installed SP1, and then went
to HP and downloaded that patch to go along with it. I
don't know when it happened, but I lost all my Office
stuff. No word, access, powerpoint, etc.. The icons were
there, but it said had to run setup from the installation
location, or something like that. I'm lost, this is more
than just point and click for me. Somebody please help!!

Find out from HP where they provided the recovery for those programs. Either
they're on the recovery partition, or they should have given you disks to
reinstall from.
 
They're on a partition. I got no disks with this
computer. Am I going to have to go through that system
recovery again?? That took several hours for it to
complete, and if I do have to go through it again, will I
have to redo my windows update?
 
Was Microsoft Office included with your computer when you purchased it? If
not, and you don't have the Office CD, you're out of luck. I don't recall
if Microsoft allows their software, like Office, to be included on
proprietary "recovery" cd's like the one for your HP. I'm pretty sure they
don't. However, on the slim chance that they do, and it was reinstalled
when you ran the recovery disk, you might try looking in Windows Explorer
for the Program Files folder. Open it and you should see the Microsoft
Office folder. There might be a setup.exe icon in there that might finish
the installation of Office. This is just grasping at straws, you
understand? I don't know for sure if this will work, but what the hell?
