Help with Graphics on XP/Word Perfect

I just got a DELL Dimension 310E with Windows XP Professional.  Please understand that I know very little about computers!  Anyhow...I had Word Perfect installed since I used it so much with my last PC.  My problem involves clip art.  I use it constantly with my work.  On my old PC there seemed to be much more and much better clip art.  Also I had HALLMARK GREETINGS factory installed (although DELL also sent me the CD & the CD had to be inserted to use it).  I've tried installing GREETINGS & it shows up in my Programs & on desktop but I get an error message saying SOMETHING IS MISSING & to reinstall.  I've reinstalled several times but it still doesn't work.  Could it be that GREETINGS is not compatible with my new PC or with XP?  Also, is there a big difference between XP HOME edition & XP PROFESSIONAL.  I had understood I was getting HOME but see that I have PROFESSIONAL & that scares me a little.  Any help to both of these issues would be very much appreciated.  Thanks!

You most likely do have Home edition. All XP computers say "XP Professional" on some pages. Press the Windows key and the Pause/break key together to see the System Properties. That page says the correct version, although there's not much difference between the two.. Hallmark program is old and might not run that well on XP. You might want to skip it on your new PC. Word Perfect might have more clip art at their site or even on the installation cd. Dell does not usually installed the whole program. Make sure you got the XP reinstall CD. If not, call Dell and get one.

Thanks for your help.  I didn't realize they don't install all of XP.  Why not?  I also did not receive an XP reinstall cd...will definitely ask about that.  If anybody out there has anymore ideas about what I can do about clip art I'd really appreciate it.  I am in desperate need of it.

OK, I just checked and it says I have WINDOWS XP MEDIA CENTER EDITION.  Is that the same as HOME edition?
