Do you mean you upgraded to Windows XP, or Office XP? Either way you'll still need Works to open Works files. I suggest you might want to load Works, load each of your files in Works and Save As to a format such as Word DOC or RTF which you can open in Office.

When I upgraded, the CD advice contained mention of the fact that there would be compatability problems with my Works 4.5. I backed up the 4.5 and its data and XP did crap on it. However, I then reinstalled 4.5 and its data and it runs well. Wierd but it works. :confused:

304464 2004-12-17 06:51:00 Good point Mike. I should have clarified that I was upgrading to Windows XP Pro. The system now runs Office 2003 and Works 4.5. Scouse (83)
