I bought a Dell Dimension 8300 ($2500 total) last year and had problems with it right out of the box. After probably forty hours on the phone with India, six components replaced, and a letter from my attorney, they sent me a new machine. Of course, it may be the same with any other brand too.

If your old machine has USB ports, you can get a memory stick for about forty dollars and use it to transfer files.

You sound like you might know a thing or two about computers.

I have a question and I hope I can be clear with my problem.

I get text files via email that I need to open in Word Perfect or Notebook.

For some reason, and I think it's because I clicked a weird button when I first got my system, they are all opening in a very old program called Symantac Q&A write. Since this is a program from 1993 and unupgradable, it won't convert many of the text files.

How can I reprogram or click on something to have my computer open email text files in Word Perfect or Notebook?
