First, please turn off your caps lock, it is considered rude and shouting
and it's also difficult to read an entire message that was done in all caps.

Second, I'm not even sure if Word 6.0 is compatible with XP. Nonetheless,
because Word was bundled with your old setup, it is an OEM version and not
transferable to the new computer. You will need to purchase a new version
of Word. (Not sure what you meant by download but the above assumes you
were either trying to install it or somehow copy it from the old computer to
the new one. If copying that won't work either, it must be installed)
