Wordpad Problem
In my document/settings I made up some documents in wordpad (.doc) and after I installed XP service pack 2 and go to open them I get a wordpad window that says "can not load word for windows 6.0 files" and it won't open. Does anyone know what this means and is there anyway to fix it so that I can open them back up in wordpad?

Wordpad cannot save original documents in *.doc format. Its options are RTF format *.RTF and three flavors of text *.txt. See if you can rename one of those files with either rtf or txt extensions and then open it in Wordpad.
Wordpad can open *.doc files created in Word and save them as *.doc files.

Right-click the file filename.doc and select Rename from the context menu. Enter filename.rft (or .txt).

One option is to find a friend with Word and have that friend open the *.doc files and save them as *.rtf files. Another is (if you are on a broadband connection) to download OpenOffice (a free suite which offers compatibility with Word files) from here.
