Unable to Boot office Application

[gordos2]

I recently formated my hard drive. Before this was done, I back up
everything on an external hard drive. When it came time to retrieve the iMS
Office application, an error came up:

" This action is only valid for products that are currently installed"

note: I do not have any office cd's.

If possible can you point me in the right direction in which to resolve this
issue?

You'll need to find your Microsoft Office installation CD
and Product Key, then reinstall Office.

Not too bright really are we? Let me get this straight. You thought that,
by copying the Office application folders over to an external drive, you
could preserve them?! And what about the 1000s of critical Office files in
the Windows folder and the 100s of registry entries?

The only issue that needs resolving is your abject stupidity.

a) Because of what you did

and

b) Because you cannot interpret a simple error.

Just out of curiosity - how the hell did you install Office initially? Don't
tell me - you installed it once and then gave away the discs because you
thought you could just do what you did?!

Yep, folks, we have another strong contender for July's Moron of the Month
Award!

And you are the most Moron every month, every year and can never be beaten
'cause nobody can reach your "high" level of stupidity!
