1) Please learn how to post to newsgroups - it is customary to start a
new thread *NOT* attach your query to someone else's.

2) That notwithstanding, you may *NOT* install Office XP Small Business
Edition on your new computer - it is OEM and, as such is tied forever to
your old system and may *NOT* be installed on any other.

The OEM limitations are as follows: -

 - Tied to original hardware
 - Vendor-only support
 - Non-transferable (unless original hardware is also transferred).

3) "The box of office xp small business ed. says that power point is on
the disk... We installed this already on our previous computer and power
point was there..."

Really?! If that's the case, then you should advertise your old computer on
eBay - and I'd love to see a scan of that box! - you'd make enough to
retire! Office XP SBE does *NOT* contain PowerPoint - never has. You may
have had PowerPoint on your old system, but it was nothing whatsoever to do
with the SBE.
