Turn on the guy.
You have installed MS Works. This is not the same thing as MS Excel.
I didn t try to open excel with MS works files, but it seems that it s is not possible!
The excel files must be saved in Microsoft Works format, if you want to open with work!

Install Excel if you want to open and use files other people Excel.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  • How can I transfer files from Tablet PC?

    I just bought an Iconia A1 180 tablet.  I would like to know how to transfer files from my PC to the tablet.

    I know not how to connect and use Bluetooth or a cable with a USB key.  What I'm asking is, how you say thePC to send files to a particular folder on the tablet.

    I have read the manual that tells how to connect via cable or the Bluetooth, but exactly how to send a file.

    I tried to send files, but whenever they do not.  If they did I don't know where they were going.  I'm in a bit of a tizzy, so if you can help it would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Do a quick Google search for 'android File Manager windows network sharing' or something similar. I think you will find it easier to share files on your network, and when you do so to share Windows files with the Tablet instead of sharing files with Windows Android.

    Basically, set you up folders on your Windows machines like file shares, and then access these actions from the side Android with a file manager application...

  • Can I transfer files from computer XP with FAT 32 file system to computer XP with NTFS file system?

    I'm trying to transfer files from one computer to the other, both with XP.  Former is set up with the file system FAT 32. new using NTFS.  When I copy the files on thumb drive FAT 32 to and try and transfer to computer NTFS, files transfer, but nothing in them.  This does mean that I can't make such a transfer, or is there something I am doing wrong.  THX.

    Y at - it files of 4 GB or more large size?  It's the only thing I can think of that could cause a problem, but I only expect to see only when copying from NTFS to FAT32.

    When the files disappear?  They are on the Flash DRIVE?

    How did you copy the file to the USB of the first computer?  How do copy you them from the USB drive to the second computer?

    Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > view and configure it to display the hidden files and folders.  Does that help: owner, Boulder computer Maven

  • How can I transfer files from desktop to Satellite L10

    How can I transfer files (My Documents) of desktop running Windows XP for Toshiba L10 portable? No COM or serial port L10.

    Hello

    I prefer to use the connection to the local network. It s a simple procedure.
    You must set the same workgroup on both devices (laptop and desktop)
    Then you will need to select the LAN card properties and select the properties of the TCP/IP protocol.
    Here, you must set the IP on the laptop such as the 192.168.50.1 and the laptop at 192.168.50.2
    Door entry and other parameters to solve automatically.
    Don t forget to set the sharing option on the folder where the files are placed.
    After restarting again the connection to the local network should work.

    Hi mandyXH,

    Step 1:

    You can try to use an external monitor and check if it helps.

    Links:

    Set up multiple monitors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-multiple-monitors

    Step 2:

    Because you have made a new computer and want to move the data to the new machine, you can try to copy files and folders to an external hard drive and then move it to the new machine and see if it works or not.

    Step 3:

    You can also use the easy transfer cable easy to move files and settings from one operating system to another operating system.

    Moving files from one disk to the other does not differ from moving from one folder to another folder on the same drive. There are several ways to do so. The two most common are:

    1. copy / paste

    2. open the source and destination in two instances of Windows Explorer (or my computer) and drag and drop from one to the other.
