Help, trying to find out if i have excel on my laptop

[sma3inc]

i do not find an icon for excel on my laptop. i am running vista home
premium. the program was installed by mfg (HP). I would think since i dont
see an icon, that i dont have excel. But i went to Microsoft website and had
them browse my laptop to find out what products are on the laptop and it says
under Desktop Applications, it list Excel 2002 ? i do need excel so how do i
access it ? is it on my laptop because microsoft browsed it and says so ?
thanks for your help.

Click on that colorful round icon in the lower left hand corner of the screen
and see if it's listed under all programs.

HP would not have installed Excel 2002 on a Vista based laptop. Perhaps
a Trial Version of Office 2007, but not Excel 2002.
