After my upgrade to XP from Me, my Office applications
don't work. The shorcuts in the start menu do not point
to anything. The files are there but when I click on the
*.exe files directly, I get an error message saying the
application is not installed for the current user.
 
I don't suppose before doing the upgrade that you let XP "Check System
Compatibility."

In any event, it sounds as though you'll need to reinstall your applications
in order to get them functional again, assuming they are compatible with XP.
 
Greetings --

If you perform an in-place upgrade from an earlier edition of
Windows, and the Office applications were already installed, you'll
likely have to repair or reinstall them, so they can add the necessary
additional functions needed for use on a multi-user OS. It may be
sufficient to simply insert the respective installation CD and select
the "Detect and Repair" option.
