I had older computer which had '95 OS. So I backed up all the hard drive information to my new computer which has 98se OS, but I can't get the application to run. All I see is whole bunch of folders after restoring to my desktop. Someone please help how do I convert this folder icons to the Original application Icons and get it to run.:Q

How did you go about backing it up? If you didn't get the registry keys, then you're in trouble... you can't just run a program as is. And what do you mean by restoring it to your desktop?

I meant to say restoring it from BACKUP WIZARD to alternate location, which I chose as My Doucument folder. And this is on my new computer (running 98se OS) where I had the data backed Up from the older hard drive(running 95 OS).
