maengdei Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 After upgrading to XP, none of my wordpad files will work. I get the error message "cannot load Word for Windows 6.0 files". Tell me if there is something I can do, one of them has EVERY password/login for my internet pleasure (bills ya know). And no I didn't save it on paper, who does?
