I had Windows 98/SE with Microsoft publisher, excel, powerpoint, and a few
others. I upgraded to Window XP and it erased everything. The only thing I
had on the start menu was a recycle bin. And I don't have the disk to
reinstall is there any way to retreive them programs.

Hello,

It seems that you did a clean install of Windows XP instead of an upgrade install. This removed all
your programs and settings. You will have to get the original Office disk to re-install the Office
applications (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
