2000 to XP

[Jule]

I just bought a new pc with XP on it and it won't let me
open any of my disks created on my old 2000 pc. Why, and
how do I solve this? All my work (4 years worth) is on
my disks. I've had to start over once before and I don't
think I could do it again. Last time it was only 7
months of work lost. This time it could be a career
killer.

What type of disks? Floppy, CD, ???
Did you use any special software to create the disks?
What program (s) did you use to create the data on those disks?
Are you using the same program (s) to open the files that you used to create
them?

Works is not Office. Works can not open Office files. Microsoft does,
however have "Viewers" that you can download so that you can see the
contents of your Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files.
