Tracey,

Your problem has a simple solution. No need for the WinXP installation
disk. When you "lost" the calculator all you lost was an icon. Simply go to
your Windows directory and find the sub directory called system32 and look
in there for "calculator.exe." When you find it right click on it and you
will get a drop down menu which should have "create shortcut" listed. Click
on that and you will get an icon labeled "calculator.exe." Then drag it to
the desktop or drag it to "accessories" where it was before. You can also
cut and paste the icon.  It could also be called "calc.exe" or something
like that but should have a calculator appearing icon.

Good luck

J. Dent
