Do you have CDs for both versions of Office? If so, uninstall Office XP,
install PowerPoint from Office 2000, then install Office XP again, making sure
to do a CUSTOM install and tell it not to remove the PPT bits.

If you don't have a CD that'll allow you to reinstall XP, it might be best to
get the full version of PPT (or if a reasonable price is available, get the
upgrade to 2003 ... 2003 SBE includes PPT). Check first to see that 2003 SBE
doesn't leave out something else you need, though.
