How can I get Excel back after rebooting my computer?

I rebooted my computer recently but I lost the use of the Excel spreadsheet
which was originally in my computer when I bought it about 4 years ago.
Currently, I can't accept spreadsheets sent to me by others. I also can't
open up spreadsheets from a couple of disks that i have here at home. Could I
get some help in downloading this back into my computer without having to
purchase from a store or online? Thanks in advance.

Do you mean that Excel has vanished from the Start|Programs|Microsoft
office? You jmust have rebooted your machine hundreds of times in the last 4
years.

Or do you perhaps mean "re-formatted" my computer?

In which case Excel is gone unless you have a CD or saved some *.cab files the
original setup may have been in.
