First, stop typing in all capital letters. It is considered shouting and
very rude. Second, you need to have Excel - the program with which you
created the spreadsheet - installed on the new system before you can
open an .xls file.

You mean you created the spreadsheet with office installed in ME. You'll need to
install office in xp as well to be able to do any work with excel spreadsheets.

Well, not necessarily Office, but at least Excel.

Windows XP itself doesn't come with ony of the Microsoft Office applications
installed, in fact no version of Windows ever has. Some PC manufacturers
sell computers with Office as a bundled package. If you had Office with
your previous computer and you are no longer using it, simply use your
install disks (if it came with them) to install office on your new comuter.
As long as the other computer either isn't functional or Office has been
removed from it, this is perfectly legal and within Microsoft's EULA.

Posted 'as is'. If there are any spelling and/or grammar mistakes, they
were a direct result of my fingers and brain not being synchronized or my
lack of caffeine.

Greetings --

Do you have Excel installed on the newer system? The OS is
irrelevant.

Comment - and also is much more difficult to read, and thus likely to be
ignored.

Second, you need to have Excel - the program with which you
created the spreadsheet - installed on the new system before you can
open an .xls file.

There is a free viewer for Excel spreadsheets, if that is all that is
needed, at
