Thank you to everyone that sent a reply to my call for help. To answer a few of your questions. We had Winzip before the computer problems and have re-installed it after getting the computer back. I forgot to mention that in my first e-mail. I used the backup feature in the FO program to make my backups. I was backing up frequently, but was using the same floppy and over writing the previous backup each time. I won't do that again! I did check to make sure that the files were on the floppy, but don't know how to check to see if they are good. I know just enough about this to be dangerous. I guess there is some good from any bad situation if we learn from it! I have attached both zip files from my floppy to an e-mail and have sent them to Margaret, who is going to try to restore them to an old FO 6.0 that she has. I am keeping my fingers crossed. My husband will try Wayne's good suggestions and if none of those things work, I guess it's back to the keyboard for me! Thank you all again. I apprecieate your help. Marge Howes
