My neice gave me her old Gateway PC, but before long the motherboard died. So I swapped her hard drive (Windows ME) into a similar year Dell Optiplex I bought for $25 with bad hard drive. It worked - I'm using it on line right now, but there's one problem. When I try to use "Word", the Office Wizard pops up and says "Due to a major configuration change it is "locked for edit - operating in reduced functionality mode". No changes or new documents can be made till the disk "Office with Front Page" is inserted to re-initialize. Needless to say, I don't have operating system disks for either of these old computers. My question is this - how do I fool the computer into letting me write a letter in Word? Can reduced functionality somehow be turned off? Marshall.
