My bigger laptop has MS Works on it and I like it's data base, but i cannot open those files on my SMALLER laptop. I need to have MS Works operating there too, most likely. If my smaller laptop had a disk drive, which it does not, I could probably SOLVE the problem.
Now, I did put the MS Works on a DS chip and transferred it to the smaller laptop. Both operate on XP. It's not as simple as that as some installation step probably need to take place. I really don't understand all of this.
I hope I can get some clues from someone.
I just joined the forum and hope I can also be of some help to some one!You cannot simply COPY all the files from a program and expect it to run on another machine...
This is by design.
I'm afraid you will have to install MSWorks on the laptop.You say I will have to install MSWorks on the laptop. That's the whole question. How will that be easiest done?
Thanks,
BertYou need a MS Works installation disc.
That is the only way.
If you have a MS Works install disc and don't have a disc drive installed in your second laptop, you can try coping the files from the installation disc to a usb drive or similar.
Then copy the files to the second laptop and run the installation from there, it may WORK or may not work. It depends on the SOFTWARE.
