I recently purchased a new computer. It came preloaded with windows vista home prem, and MS office 2007. The problem I have is it did not come with any cd's. I have a new vistas disk I purchased but the office 2007 I have nothing. How can I make a cd of office 2007 from the file on the computer? Is it possible to burn them to make it like a new cd, with it auto starting, etc? Any and all help please. Thanks Bill

You can create recovery discs depending on the make of your computer. Most of the computers (for example: HP) which comes preloaded software have got recovery manager software. You can use that software to make initial recovery point and then discs.

Also, computers have got recovery partition which does the same thing. The only problem with recovery partition is no recovery if Hard Drive crashed. So recovery discs can really help in that case.

That the preloaded version of MS Office 2007 is not the usual trial version?
Common practise by system builders now is to load a 60 day trial od Office which actually last for 25 uses and not 60 days. If this is what you have you will be prompted to input a product key each time you use it until you actually do input one.
It is also normal not to receive the installation disk if the product was pre-loaded, this is an effort by Microsoft to avoid software piracy, you can get the disk if you pay for it from Microsoft.
So the answer to your question is no you cannot burn an installation cd from the files installed on your computer.
Also I am curious to know why you purchased a Vista CD? you already had a license for it!
