discs from my old pc then loaded them on2 my new pc, when I try to open my
text documents they give me a filter list but nothing in the list opens my

This has nothing to with your old computer vs. your new computer, nor
with Vista vs. whatever version of Windows you used to run.

A wps file is one produced by Microsoft Works, which you apparently
had installed on your own computer. If you didn't install it yourself,
the computer came with it preinstalled. Microsoft Works is a separate
product, unrelated to any version of Windows, and does not come with
any version.

Your new computer, on the other hand, did not come with Microsoft
Works. So you do not have the needed software installed to open these
files.

The solution is a simple one, but costs some money: buy a copy of
Microsoft Works.
