vista conversion - bluemoon


Posted: Nov 01, 2009

Hello!  I have an Acer desktop that is a vista.  My old computer was an XP, and I still have the hard drive that I removed from it before I gave it away.  Is it possible that I can remove the Vista hard drive from my present computer and replace it with the XP hard drive from my previous computer?  (I don't remember the name of my previous computer).  Thanks!

the hard drive with XP is compatible with your Acer desktop. Look at the info written on the XP hard drive and check it against the Acer web site, or email them for assistance.

Wordperfect 5.1 Conversion To Word
Dec 02, 2009

I used WP5.1 and convert to Word.  I know it is old school, but I am much faster using the DOS program.  I had no problems with it until last night.   Not sure if an update ran or what, but now when I convert the document from WP5.1 to Word all the tabs disappear.   Also, I use Sylcount for WP5.1 and I have a few girls that help me type who type in Word so I convert the word document to a WP5.1 file to save for counting purposes, even though it is sent to the doctor ...
