if you have a serial port try to get a keynote gold sa from somewhere.
May have to work to get it but this does work on xp, cause I tried it once.

So one rainy day, I installed win 98 on  a 2.8 ghz machine and set to work and installed keynote 15 minute demo 1.15 version.  I know for a fact that keynote does not work with win xp since win xp does not use system .  ini or win .  ini to load vxd drivers.  They rely more on the stupid registry, guess for security reasons.  So if your new pc came with win xp, that can be one reason.
