I just bought this laptop with Windows XP Pro without the MS Office
preinstalled. Now
I am trying to run MS Office applications (such as MS Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint) but the following error message pops up: "The operating system is
not presetnly configured to run this application."

My sincere gratitute for any help.

Purchase a copy of Microsoft Office 2003 and install it!

If you just want to view Word or Excel files you might consider the free MS
2003 viewers for those files (visit the Office website)
