Susan,
Thanks for your response. First, MS Word wasn't functioning properly. I
mistakenly deleted MS office thinking I was deleting Office XP office home
edition. I did a system restore but did not correct the problem. Then I
discovered that none of the MS applications could run. I got the following
error message, "The function that you are trying to run is on another source
and is unavailable on your system. Please select an alternative path or find
the folder containing file 511974." I believe that I inadvertently deleted
the memory source for all MS applications and the ability to run, install,
and unistall applications. Since Windows XP was pre-loaded onto my computer,
I need to know how to reinstall those files. Thanks
