If you dont have the disc you can't fix it. You have to reinstall Office on
the PC when it is running Windows XP.
 
Hi David:

You have two choices. The first is to reinstall office in XP. Since you
don't have the disks, this option is moot.

The other option is to make your old hard drive the boot drive and install
XP OVERTOP of Win98. This will update the XP registry to include any
installed software.

HTH

Regards,

David.
