My old computer died about 2 weeks ago. My new computer which has windows xp will not open the documents at corvettefaq.com. What settings do I have to adjust to get this to work? It says I have to make an association with this file. Any help would be appreciated.

They seem to be Microsoft Word documents. Since you recently got XP, you might have to install the Microsoft Office suite to be able to view them.

Hi Eddie, what documents are you having trouble with. Some are word docs (which should also open with WordPad that comes with XP), and some are MHT files which should open with IE. Lemme know if you're still having trouble.

I am having trouble with the .doc files. I used to be able to just tell the computer to just open the files. Even now I can`t open the files after saving them.
