Compatibility between VISIO and Windows XP

Is there a compatability issse between older versions of
VISIO and Windows XP? My VISIO files no longer open.

I had my computer to receive automatic updates and
believe this is the reason for this problem. I tried to
re-load VISIO from the original disks and even that would
not work. (I'm using VISIO V2.0.)

Thank you, Don

KB 884130 has a list of incompatible software - including stuff from
Microsoft.

It might help if he had a full link to the article since a lot of people
don't know where the Knowledge Base is or even that it exists:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...0&Product=winxp

I didn't see it listed in the article mentioned in this thread. However,
your best bet is to check a Visio newsgroup for an answer.

Last time I checked you could just type the KB article number in the search
box and you would be presented with the article. That's easier than trying
to remember all those addresses.

Well, he'd be presented with a list which would have links but he'd need to
know this procedure to begin with.
