I understand I have Office 2003/XP and I apparently have to use "add ins" to
load the data analysis funtion... I have attempted to do so but it prompts me
for the XP disc, which I put in the CDROM drive and "click okay" as it says
but it continues to error on me... I need help...

Check to see which version of Office you have (by choosing Help | About ...
in Excel or Word).

It is likely either Office 2003 (the most recent version) or Office XP (also
called Office 2002).

Without any applications running, put the Office disk (not the Windows
operating system disk) in your CD drive and close the door. The setup
program should start automatically, and you should be able to use it to add
just the Analysis ToolPak.
