Well this still lacks real details. But my understanding is that you have
backup your old IBM PC to an external HDD.
When you try to access the backup from your new computer (???), it tries to
launch Word which itself displays the error message?
If this is what is happening, try reregistering Word. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ReRegisterWord.htm
If this is the wrong interpretation, please tell us EXACTLY what is backed
up (just a copy of the old disk or a proper backup using a backup utility)
and what you are trying to access (or open) from the old backup and how?
Which version of WORD not Windows? So far your posts have avoided answering
the questions of being clear and unambiguous.
