discs from my old pc then loaded them on2 my new pc, when I try to open my

text documents they give me a filter list but nothing in the list opens my

documents how do I change my documents from WPS file to intergrate them onto

the new pc when I can open and view documents

This has nothing to with your old computer vs. your new computer, nor

with Vista vs. whatever version of Windows you used to run.



A wps file is one produced by Microsoft Works, which you apparently

had installed on your own computer. If you didn't install it yourself,

the computer came with it preinstalled. Microsoft Works is a separate

product, unrelated to any version of Windows, and does not come with

any version.



Your new computer, on the other hand, did not come with Microsoft

Works. So you do not have the needed software installed to open these

files.



The solution is a simple one, but costs some money: buy a copy of

Microsoft Works.
