I do hope you mean legally! But that's another matter.

I don't think its possible then, but if you downloaded something that large before, I would download OpenOffice and try and open it with that. Let us know if that works!

i have tried open office still no luck... nothing i do seems to work out...

i cant even go back to windows ME since i did a clean installation. i put in my systems recovery cd i got when i bought my computer and it said i need to contact support...
i was wondering i sent a small file to you could you try and open it? and see if it works?

try this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN

what version of word and works are they?

right now i have Microsoft word 2000 permium but i dont kno which one i had for windows ME i think i can figure that out then i could fix this...
