powerpoint won't work on Office XP Small Business

[Nancy]

I had to reformat due to problems and had to reinstall my Office XP Small
Business (02) Now I can't get the Powerpoint to work. I have the CD's and
everything else works fine, but the program doesn't even show up in my list
of programs and if I try to open one of my PP documents, it sends me an error
message and to the web site saying I need to install PP. I"ve done the
repair install from the CD and reinstalled the ...any ideas?

The first MS Office Small Business Edition that included Powerpoint was MS Office 2003. The MS Office XP Small Business Edition was
the only one that was a 'non retail' (included with new PCs only) Small Business Edition.
