Install using the Office/Excel installation CD. Activate by phone.

How would you propose to get the files from a "dead" machine?

Assuming your workbooks are saved to some sort of backup medium you will still
need Excel to run them.

Without a CD to re-install Office or Excel to new machine you are out of luck.

Suggest the Trial download of Office 2007 or look for an Office CD for 2002 or
2003 on ebay or at your local retailer.

Thanks Gord,

Yes, you are right.... my Excel and Word data backed up to USB flash
drive... Well, when I bought new desktop with Vista I didn't realize that
I'll have to buy new software to run my old files and program :)
