Unable to transfer files from XP to Win 7
I was able to transfer certain files from the old computer (XP) to my new Dell Optiplex 380 (Windows 7) by converting files to a file Windows 7 will accept. For example, converting WB3 files to .xls on the XP computer & transfering to the new computer. Windows 7 will accept .xls files but not WB3 files. Converting BK! files to .doc files also worked well. I used Microsoft Excel & Word 2007 to make the changes.
However, CL5, FBK, FTW, FBC & SHS could not be converted. Excel & Word would not make the conversion to a file that Win 7 would accept.
The F-- files are Family Tree Maker files & downloading the original CD did not help.
