I need to open some documents that are wordpad, but they seem to be an old version that can't be opened with Windows XP :urff:
Can I open them?.
Do I need Windows 95?
Where can I get a FREE!! Windows 95 if I do?

Ta.

Apparently it's Microsoft Word I need, I've got Microsoft Works but this will not let me read the documents :evil: , I don 't suppose there's a Free download that someone knows of?.
