reinstall Microsoft Works

Question

Microsoft Works is still in Add or Remove Programs, and the files and applications are still in Program Files, but none of the programs come up in a search. The Microsoft Works folder in All Programs is empty. Should I somehow reinstall Works?

P.S. When I run one of the programs from the folder in Program Files, it works correctly. The rest of the computer just thinks they're gone.

Answer 1

You have to contact Gateway to get the installation source or you can also purchase Works 9.0 then uninstall and reinstall it.

I already tried repairing the installation. It asked for the disc, which I don't have. The manufacturer of the computer is Gateway. How do I get the installation source?
