I bought a computer pre-loaded with MS Access 2002 and
now I want to move that copy of Access to another
computer. How can I do this? Do I need to un-install it
or what? How do I change the registration with Microsoft?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Stick the installation disk in the CD drive of the computer you need it
installed on then install it.
 
Check the EULA (End-User Licence Agreement) carefully. Software bundled with
a PC is often licenced *only* for use on that PC. If in doubt, consult with
the vendor.

If you are satisfied that a) the EULA permits what you want to do and b) you
have reliable installation media, then yes, you need to install on one PC
and uninstall from the other, unless the EULA gives you permission to
install on more than one PC.

Registration? I haven't registered anything in years, the forms seem to keep
getting longer and you get nothing for your trouble but junk mail. If you
mean activation (which is a separate process from registration) you will be
prompted to activate the software the first time you run it on the new PC.
