I recently bought a new computer with Windows XP. I
copied all my files on a 3 1/2 from the Windows ME and
transfered them to "My Documents". I cannot open any of
the files and do not see any program in "open with" that
will access the documents.
Can anyone please help me with this problem.
Thanks
 
In what application were these files created? Is that application installed
on your new computer? XP is an operating system not an application. While
it has some applets that allow a user to handle simple chores, most people
use applications they've installed or came bundled with their computer to
create files and require those applications to open those files on other
computers.

You would only have those applications on your new computer if the computer
manufacturer bundled those apps along with the OS. This apparently is not
the case so you'll have to install the appropriate applications, whatever
you used to create those files, on the new system.
