Hi Danny,
You are confusing the two. The operating system, Windows XP Home, and
Microsoft Office XP Professional.
Use these steps to perform a repair install.
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. Double-click the icon for the Office XP program that you want to
update.
4. In the Microsoft Office XP Maintenance Mode dialog box, click
Repair Office and then click Next.
5. In the Reinstall/Repair Microsoft Office XP dialog box, click
Reinstall Office, and then click Finish.
6. When the repair process is finished, run the public update again.
