I am running Windows XP. The other day I needed to find some information I
had stored on a floppy disk. When I went to retrieve it - the file could not
open. The message was: “Works cannot open the file you selected. The file
may be corrupted or it may be a file type that the Database cannot open. If
you have a backup copy of the file, try opening that copy, or try opening the
file in the program that you created it in.” I went back and right clicked
and went to: open with, and opened it with “Microsoft Works Word Processor”.
Voila - my file opened and I was able to read it. The problem is that now
ALL of the files I have created and saved in my Windows XP Documents folder
have to be opened this way or all I see is hieroglyphics. How do I change my
files back to their original format?? PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you.
