Ouch!\n\nIf you lost your restore disk, then you have no choice but to buy the software -- that is unless the place that sold you the PC will give you a new restore disk. Perhaps the computer manufacturer will have a restore disk you can purchase for a nominal fee. \n\nIt's an expensive lesson otherwise.

IF you are able to recover the file at all, you will have to be on the file the computer was hosted on (not the computer you were using when you deleted the file). The computer that  the file was on may be able to recover the file with some recovery software. Good luck.

You need to find the original install disk.  Do you still have it?  If not, maybe you can borrow a friend's.  If you have all of the registration numbers maybe Adobe will give you another copy.

If I am reading this question correctly you are trying to restore your computer to an earlier time using Windows XP's system restore? If you do that then you won't lose any of your files. However you will lose any programs that you installed. For example, if you rolled your computer back to the date of May 14th, any programs that you have installed after May 14th will have to be installed again but your files, music, and pictures will all be fine and intact.

I'm sorry but you will not be able to do it cause it's installed as a patch so, there's no chance unless you have made a Restore Point before you installed it.\n\nBYE

go to all programs then accessories then system tools then system restore and you can restore you computer back to an earlier date of when your computer worked the way it worked in the past.

Call the people you brought the computer from and have them fix it. They should have given you the CDs.

Assuming your copy is registered/you have a liscence you could contact microsoft about a replacement disc. As long as you can prove that it is a legitimate version on your computer that has been paid for.\n\nEither that or contact whoever sold you built the computer and ask for the disc

Your problem is NOT a software problem.  Whatever customer support person you talked to should be out of a job.  It is a harddrive failure (meaning your harddrive is now useless trash).  Just buy a new harddrive and reinstall an OS.

If you are using Windows XP then there is an easy way to restore your lost files.  Go to Start Menu > Help and Support > undo changes to your computer with system restore > restore my computer to an earlier time.  Choose a restore point and click [next].

Yes, you can.  It's on the hard drive.  Make sure the service technicians do not plan to wipe your hard drive prior to returning your laptop to you.  A good tech won't, but the bozos at places like Best Buy often do.
