i tried to print my tax return from a floppy made on a computer using ME to an xp machine,it said the disk was not formatted and would not print.i put the disk in a w2k computer,it showed up but only as symbols,no real text.pictures copied on floppy from the ME will work on both xp and w2k.is this normal or is there something i am not doing?

Is the tax software installed on all these machines?

What is the name and extension of the file you're trying to print?

no it isn't thats probly the answer,i had to install a printer on the ME computer to copy the return.i used that computer because i didn't want to put the turbo tax on the ones i use.
thanks,hadn't thought of that.by the way stay warm and don't get in too much traffic today us texans dont handle ice and snow well.HA
