support for files with extension .max-cannot open files

I got a HP with Windows 98 computer.  When I got a newer computer, I downloaded the scanned files of visoiaire scanner on the new computer with windows XP.  Files are associated with the program file extension. MAX.  I'm unable to open files with windows XP.  I'm technically incompentent.  Y at - it a to change extension of files or open with Windows XP?  detailed instructions will be appreciated.

That's what Filext.com about MAX:

MAX file type is primarily associated with "PaperPort" of ScanSoft Inc. file: PPPAGEVW. EXE. Also captured by Visioneer Page view. If you have been sent a photo of a person in this format, try using the Viewer. If this does not work for you ask them to send the image in a format, you can display.

This means that the Visionaire scanner connected to your old Win98 computer has been configured to save the files analyzed in this proprietary format.  The Viewer for this format - pppagevw.exe - no doubt has been installed on the Win98 computer, when the scanner was installed.

Unfortunately, your new computer is that Viewer, you need to get here (go to the bottom of the page): http://support.visioneer.com/products/Tools/Utilities_2000_XP.asp
