Microsoft works suite 2002 activation

[Crazymanwithamouse]

Recently, I installed a new PCI wireless card in my computer. After doing
so, I tried to use Microsoft Word on my computer, Then I got the lovely
messege,
Microsoft word 2002 has detected a significant change in your machine
configuration. For Microsoft Word 2002 to continue funtioning properly, and
avoid entry into reduced functionality mode, you must reactivate your product.

In order to do this I need to have my Microsoft 2002 CD 1, yet I do not
remember where it is. So now, the software that I paid for, and registered,
I can't use because of "anti-piracy" software. Any idea of how I can use my
product without having to buy a brand new copy of office?
