I can't say for sure. I can tell you that this program has been able to open the Presentation documents (wpg) and word perfect documents (wpd) that were made by Corel suite 7 that was built for win95. I used it on win98, which was the last operating system that ver 7 would operate on.

I doubt it, I bought this software for the same reason, accidentally deleted a file from a hard drive (not the mac one, but a USB one I always use as a 'work' drive). I tried the software in various 'modes' but to no avail. It did not recover any type of file I was looking for. I doubt you'll ever get those files back...

I was very disappointed in Platinum V6 and had to go back to my old PM 18.1 in order to open my old files. I was in a bind: Had a new 8.1 computer that wouldn't recognize or accept my years of designs from many programs and wouldn't let me install my older programs so actually bought a new Windows 7 pro and installed all my old programs. I think the "cloud" is the technology of the future but what about our files of the past and present? I now have two computers. Dumb, but no options. FYI, I am 84.

I have receipts from 1998 that have the old .max filetype and Paperport 14.0 is able to open them.

I seriously doubt it. I finally threw it out because it was too old and would not work on my newer XP version or Windows 8 machine. I got the message it was already loaded, but it was not there in either machine. Too bad because only decent program I could find that let you change your art to JPG format. All the other programs I have tried you can only open the art work with the program you made it with and couldn't find any conversion software online that worked either

I would assume so but don't know for sure. As with software you can open documents created in older versions in the newer version but not the other way around. I use the FW or thunderbolt cable. I hope this helps. If not, you may find your answer on their website.

If the actual .exe program is still on the pc you should be able to copy it over. If it was install by disk then you will have to re-install it on the new pc and then use the cable to copy the old data files over to the new pc in the programs directory.

You will have to check if the software is compatible with windows 7. I had use the software on an older version of MS Windows XP or 98.

Yes, if you have Windows 7 and up.Make sure you apply all [windows] updates first.

Better to add it as a second drive --some software won't run on Windows 8.1, but all the data files should be readable. Also, it is likely that the drive with the new machine is much larger and faster than the one in your old machine.

Yes. I used it to read all the files on my 1.44 MB diskettes and which I copied my hard drive. From there I loaded the files onto CDs. My computer with Windows 7 had no problem reading the 1.44 drive. I used it only to recover old files from 1.44 diskettes.

As luck would have it, I found "Dore.exe" on an old backup. It's a 982 Kb file, with no other files associated, and when I click it, it says that it's going to unZip some files, so this could be what you're looking for. Understand, I make no promises, guarantees or warranties, but I'm happy to send it if you want to try it... Question is, how would I get it to you?

Hi Kevin,I believe that would depend first on the type of corruption. But otherwise, I would say that my experience this device has retrieved files and folders with an almost perfect success rate, with.any failures generally coming first from improper use of the user. Depending on your knowledge level, you shouldn't encounter any major issues. Last note, if it's in your budget, I would suggest upgrading your operating system to Windows 8.1, which makes their use much easier, and for other situations you will to find software that can manage the device efficiently. Very well worth the price and my money very well spent.All the best,Bryan Hi Kevin,I believe that would depend first on the type of corruption.

As far as I know yes... It converts all of my documents from Microsoft word 2010. That's the oldest version I have, use, and know of for sure.
