Wendy, Open the Control Panel, open Add or Remove Programs, on the right side click on Add/Remove Windows Components. When that box opens you will be able to install OE on the laptop. By corporate version, do you mean Windows 2003 Server? If so you will need that CD-Rom. If it is Windows XP Pro and it did not come with a CD-Rom, your XP Pro Cd-Rom should work. It also is possible that you will not be asked to use the CD-Rom as the install for OE may be already loaded on the laptop.

I don't know how this happened. The version of XP on the laptop is a corporate version and I have XP Pro that I got for another computer but I don't know how to extract just OE without having to completely re-install Windows all over again (the way you can install individual programs in Office). Is there a way to install just OE?
