Michael - far be it from me to challenge you, but did you pick up on the
"back-up" element in this post?
Walter said ..."I installed backup and then tried to restore a file from a
CD that was created on a Win98 computer. When I tried to find the file,
the window didn't show any files on the CD".
I thought I read somewhere that XP's backup/restore is incompatible with
earlier versions, so the "window" (I'm assuming his XP "restore" window)
will not be able to read W98 backup files ...
If I'm correct, then one solution would be to use a W98 machine, "restore"
the file to a unique directory, then copy that restored file from the W98 pc
to the XP pc... E-mail attachment, memory stick, floppy, CDRW ...
Or am I talking utter drivel?
Apologies, Len
