Alright so here's what's going on with my computer: We got a new computer a while ago but it is not a brand name or anything. We put it together ourselves, and it's 64-bit rather than 32-bit so in order to maximize our computer's capabilities we downloaded Windows x64 which is windows xp for 64-bit computers. But, it was only a trial and it soon expired. I was unaware that it was a trial and had been playing games on it. When the trial expired we installed regular windows xp for 32-bit computers and it has been working just fine. But, my problem is that I want to play my games. I REINSTALLED the games and have been trying to access the saved games on windows x64 but it says that access is denied. I have tried rebooting the computer with windows x64 to see if I could move the FILES out of my documents and into another folder that would be accessable to windows xp but windows x64 will not boot up. When I go to boot up the screen goes black and I end up having to shut the computer down. I was wondering if you have any other suggestions as to what to do about getting into my documents on windows x64. I would really appreciate it. ThanksChances are you chose the option in the other operating system to make the files private, which adds encryption to them and keeps other users of the computer from accessing them.  Answering a few questions will help us help you:

When you installed the Windows XP version you are using now, did it keep your user name and password, or did you have to enter a new user name and password during the installation of the operating system?  

ALSO, are the files located in your old My Documents folder or in some other folder?

FINALLY, are you now using Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Media Edition?
