I searched the knowledge base and newsgroups and found no
connection to this problem. This started with a data
folder on a Windows 98 system. It was backed up to a
Win2K PC using W2K backup utility. It was then restored
to a new PC using Windows XP. The files were restored
but the file type is now "Security Certificate". These
files are not recognized by Broderbund Printmaster 11.
Broderbund support is like the IRS being generous. It
doesn't happen! How can I get these files back to
original condition with .xxx file type? Please email and
post replies, and thank you very much, anyone!
