    I have Microsoft Office Xp Standard for Teachers and have lost the CD Drive.  I have the original software with my product key but cannot access it because the drive is just gone.  I have loaded all updates via the Internet but still cannot access the drive.  Any ideas?  Last time I played a movie or CD was probably in January so I'm not sure when it disappeared.  Computer is a laptop that is pretty much connected to wirelass 24/7.

    Please go to Start > Run and type in:  devmgmt.msc  
    and press the Enter key.  After the Device Manager
    window opens, scroll down to your DVD/CD-ROM
    drives, click the "+" to expand, then right-click on
    your CD Drive and select Uninstall.  You will
    be prompted to reboot your computer, so reboot
    and Windows XP will reinstall the CD Drive.
