I am having trouble upgrading to windows2000 from 98. I am doing an upgrade from w98 to w2k. The computer telss me that wordperfect 8 is fully incompatable with windows2000. I wish to keep WP8 if possible. How can I do this? I know that I cannot do a clean install, for the disk will not install from a clean install.

Check what service pack level your Word-Perfect installation is.

The last revision is service pack 7.
While I haven't tried it for W2K, applying the patches may be what you need to do.

Alternately, you could upgrade to version 9 or 10 for full compatability.

I picked up several copies of Version 10 from the clerance section of www.newegg.com
You can also check www.pricewatch.com for links to low cost copies.
