If you have an old version of WordPerfect 6.1 or any version that only used short file names, you can go the file manager window (file - open) and either copy the files if you want to make sure they don't disappear and rename them or just rename them with the appropriate extension (i.e., .wpd for wordperfect, .doc for word, etc.), and they should open. I am not sure if this will work in My Computer or the old Windows Explorer. We have this happen a lot with old WP documents with short file names.
