	I have gotten one reply already and I guess I was not clear in my 
statement, so below I have tried to clarify it a little more.

	Thanks for the input, but maybe I worded my question wrong.  I am not 
looking for software that will allow me to image XP.

	Has anyone made images with Office XP (or any XP product) and then put it 
back on a system that was a little different.  When you do then XP Products 
realize that the hardware is not exactly the same, and will not let you run 
the product till you insert the installer CD.  This is supposed to be the 
case with all XP products to my knowledge, though such as Office XP, 
FrontPage 2002, Windows XP(which I have yet to attempt to image), etc.

	There is supposed to be something that gets around the XP products seeing 
that there is a difference in hardware and that is what I am looking 
for.  I hope that clarifies it a little better.

	Mike
