Office XP Professional Melvin Bell 11/8/2008 12:32:00 PM I have original upgrades to 2 lots of Office XP Professional which were purcsaed legally and installed on computers years ago as upgrades to the then existing also legal installation. Those computers with the original software were disposed of. I now want to install one of these upgrades on a new laptop but of course do not have an original version to upgrade. Anyone know if this is possible and of so how to do it|? Thanks for any advice -- MGB
