Solve : Transferring files from windows xp to windows me?

Answer»

I am TRYING to take some files to my secondary computer. Obviously ms works files from XP will not open in the 2nd computer which RUNS ms works ME. Sooooo- the question is- can I install XP to the 2nd computer? Both are e machines so the software is bundled.Can I install just Works? Should/can I reformat the 2nd computer and use the other restore DISC? any ideas would be appreciated....
Installing Windows XP on the second machine would be illegal. So, no, can't do that. I believe the solution is simple. You should be ABLE to save the Works files on your Win XP machine in a format that can be opened in the older version of Works. Look at the options you have for saving Works files to different formats. One of the choices is probably older version of Works. If not, RTF or some other option will probably work.

An alternative might be to download and install a freeware WORD processor called AbiWord on you Win ME machine.
