Thanks for all of the help.
Heather, when I bought my e-machine, it came only with the restore CD.
I talked to a friend last night and he's coming down from Atlanta (he is a
computer whiz), I live south of there, next weekend, and is bringing me his
copy of Works 2006. Will it be compatible with ME? And will it convert my
Works 2000 docs to it? I've got a lot of background materials for different
things in Works 2000 and there is no way I could ever recreate them.
I checked the REBOOT CD last night, and there is no way to simply reinstall
just the Works off it. I'd have to do a complete REBOOT, using the CD (which
I've had to do twice--when it hung up for some reason). And I hate to do
that simply for one little problem.
Do you think the Works 2006 will work?

When I bought my WinME machine, Works was on a totally separate CD,
along with a number of programs by Microsoft, IIRC. Did you not get
anything besides a restore CD??

If not, then I suppose you could try eBay or some smaller computer store
that might have an old copy of it. Or ask around and see if anyone
happens to have it. Do you even know what version it was??

Rebooting your PC will lost nothing except for any unsaved data. I
suspect
you mean reinstalling.

If your PC came with Works pre-installed (it is not part of Win Me)
then
you should also have received a copy on disk, alternatively Works is
included on the recovery media supplied with the PC.

Whilst it might not help you find Works you might also want to ask
yourself how it is that you have lost Works? It won't have
spontaneously
uninstalled itself. Did you perhaps mistakenly uninstall it using
Add/Remove Programs?
I might have, as I've had to reboot recently and was clearing out
some programs I didn't need (like Eudora and Microsoft Money). I
checked the Restore CD and couldn't find works on it anywhere.
I have an E-Machine that I purchased in April of 2000.

Which means that your PC did not come with Win Me pre-installed as
Win Me
did not go RTM until 19 June 2000 (the files are however dated 6 June
2000) and was not available on new PCs until at least August 2000.
-- I stand corrected, I purchased the E-Machine in April of 2001,
when I moved into my new home. Do you know of anywhere I can
download Works? I have several documents saved in Works that I
cannot access. And I'm now on fixed income.

Joan,
I tried that. But it isn't on them. I have an E-Machine that I
