MS Works from v4.5 to v 9

Question
-
Recently, I upgraded MS Works from v4.5 to v 9. (Vista Business w/ updates). When attempting to open (WPS) files created w/ the Works v4.5 I get a message indicating the file is either in use by another application, or is corrupted. HAs anyone encountered this anomaly, and is there a fix for this. Please send information.Tuesday, August 10, 2010 7:35 PM

Hello NanoUnit,
This forum is for the support of Office Validation (non-Genuine) issues.
Your issue does not appear to be Validation related. I recommend posting in the "PhotoDraw, FrontPage, and Works" forum at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addworks/threads

Works 4.5 went out with the Ark - almost!:)Most files created by Works 9 will be incompatible with works 4.5 - and I suspect that the reverse is also true.You will need to download compatibility packs for the upgrade - but although I know they exist I have no idea where - try Googling Works Compatibility pack on site:support.microsoft.com.Other than that I can only suggest posting gin a more appropriate forum.
