Can't open MS Works files
I saved all my MS Works files on a Thumb drive when I bought my new computer. I thought MS Word, which I installed, would open these files when I set up my new computer which is using Windows 7. Old one was XP. The files open in a big "Gibberish" I thought I would just buy MS Works 9.0 which I thought would cure the problem. Installed OK and it won't open the files either. I have a laptop that has the MS Works on it and it will open any of the files just fine. What am I doing wrong?
