Win XP crashed on my computer. I re-installed it in a new directory. How to I
access the programs I installed with the original WinXP? |

You can't. They need to be reinstalled into your new Windows
installation.

You cannot access your former programs...
you should have performed a repair installation rather than a new one...
NOTEThere is a possibility that you can still perform a repair installtion
on your original windows folder |

Right.

Maybe. That can solve some problems, but not all. But I agree that it
was at least worth a try.
