Title: viewing my computer diary text
Post by: mickki6 on July 22, 2009, 05:08:37 PM

I got the computer diary MPD (My Personal Diary) 455 right after I got my first PC in 1995. I was able to view my entries on my first four computers. Then I got a new Dell in March, with Vista, and MPD455 and my next diary were unworkable.
Vista was so bad I paid a guy to reinstall Windows XP on the new computer.
Of my three computer diaries I can view the latest two OK, but not MPD455.
I've had several knowledgable people tell me that something is missing on this new computer with Windows XP. I can view the MPD455 entries, but they are garbled...gibberish. I tried using Word and converting to different formats, but that didn't help.
And yet, with the MPD455 on a flash drive, I can go back to my old, previous computer (Windows XP) and view the diary from the flash drive perfectly well.
Does anyone have any idea what file is on my old computer that allows me to view the diary entries?

You had better to update the vertion of MPD.As far as I know MPD isn't compatible with Vista.
