Follow the advice of "rtsworld2002." Do not delete your windows xp home, the upgrade will be easier and more reasonable. If you are a college student check with your school first, you may be able to purchase the software at a lower cost through them.

IT Professional\nHappened several times in the past to me or one of my users\n\nNOTE: Make sure you have your ID Key for MS Office\n      BACKUP any data first  \n\n\n1. Open Control Panel \n\n2. Open Add/Remove Programs\n\n3. Click on Microsoft Office\n\n4. Click on Remove when the Windows Installer opens\n\n5. Allow the full MS Office suite to be removed\n\n6. Reboot the computer\n\n7. Insert the MS Office CD\n\n8. When prompted enter the ID Key, click Next\n\n9. At this point you can choose the Standard or if you use features from MS Office that are not commonly used, click Custom\n\n10. If you used Custom Install there will be boxes for Word, Excel, Outlook, etc \n\n11. Click the + sign next to each item and choose the components to install\n\n12. After install is complete, reboot the computer\n\n\nShould fix the problem, Happy Computing!

Install something else FIRST.   If you have a Windows XP home, install that.   Check the BOX that your XP pro came with.  It should say what you have to start with.

Go to your desktop. Right click and select "Properties". Then with the new screen that pops up go over to "Appearence". Now this differs depending if you have windows XP or not. If you do click "Advanced" then select "Active Title Bar" from drop down menu. If you do not have windows XP select "Active Title Bar" from the first drop down menu. Then just change the font and size to what you want. You can personalize your computer with other options from the drop down menu.\nHope this helps!
