Reinstalling Works from the original CD takes just a few steps.
Microsoft Works is a word processing program similar to Microsoft Word, but with fewer features. Many new computers come with Works pre-installed, and you may find that you need to reinstall it in the future to fix a persistent error message or because you reinstalled Vista or upgraded your operating system to Vista. Before you start the reinstall process, you need to uninstall your original copy of Microsoft Works if you haven't already.
