operating system
I'm currently running XP. I have an old floppy with
records stored under Windows 98. Where can I go on the MS site to get this open and or convert/up date it to open under XP. Thank you |

Any Windows 98 floppy diskette should be readable under Windows XP with no
changes. What happens when you try to read it in Windows XP? -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

operating system
The problem is not that the files were stored under Windows 98, but they
were stored using an application (such as WORD) that you had with Windows 98 and you do not have with your new version of the operating system. If you can identify what this application was (ie, what application created the files that you are trying to access) then it is possible to find an application that you can install in your current operating system that can access these files. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Ron" wrote in message ...
