WordPad problem

[JanF]

After moving to a new computer with WinXP I transferred several
WordPad documents from my old Win95 to the new machine.

Now it seems I cannot open these docs any more. A dialoge says
"The file is Windows Word 6.0. Cannot load it."

I only have Windows softaware WordPad and NotePad available.
The same are in old machine too.

Is there any patch to do the job?
