Hi, It depends on what drivers are on it. As I say, it depends on the motherboard and whether XP supports it out of the box. There may not even be one at all. As for Word, I managed to just now find a Word key I got from the Internet a long time ago for Word 2000, so if you want it let me know, or use Steve's suggestion.
