I recently bought a new PC with WinXP Home Ed. After
copying Works 2000 (version 5.0.2002.0) files, written on
my old PC (Win98) via CD to my documents, I find that I
cannot open them. Windows says it cannot open them
(.WKS), searches online, comes up empty. Have I lost all
of my inventory spreadsheets, word processor files,
etc.? I have Word 2000 SR-1 loaded on the machine, with
all format conversions run from computer, but no joy!
Please help!!
 
Try to open them from inside of word 2000. Start word
2000, then open them by file, open, etc.

have you got the Works Installation CD? Re-install it on your new PC. It
should work.
