Ms Office Starter Program Will Not Run.
I have Dell XPS8300 win-7 and did a restore to previous date and now MS office starter program will not run, says file missing and it needs to be repaired, but I did not get any software with the computer when I purchased it at Best Buy. How can I get office to work again as I have a lot of files that I don't want to lose. The office program sits on a partition by itself and you can not get to it. Help!
