Windows Forum / Windows XP / 64-bit / May 2008Encrypted Files Won't Open
Hi, I saved all my passwords to a floppy disk and encrypted the doc when I saved it. I used Microsoft Office 2007 Blue Edition. It never asked me for a password. I just tried to open the document and it won't open. Is there something else I can do? The list is 3 pages long.  SignatureDenise ~ If you don't know where you came from, you won't know where you're going. I suggest you ask this question over on one of the Office forums. This is the 64-bit newsgroup and we're here to help people having problems specific to 64-bit Windows.

Don't know why but my floppies tend to have read problems lately (and it is not a faulty floppy drive) I also have my passwords in an encrypted *.doc and I use a 14 character password for the encryption and save the doc both to my hard disk AND my pen drive (for portability reasons).

And if it weren't for the need to have one around to load drivers with F6 (almost gone, but not quite), I'd get rid of my last one.

I print a copy of the list so that I can write in passwords for new websites/password changes. When the list gets a lot of updates, I update the floppy. Since Windows 95, I've never had a problem with a floppy disk (knock on wood) and I use them to backup my documents at work (I'm talking hundreds of disks). When a correction is made to the original, I pop the floppy in and copy the updated file to it. It sounds as if floppy disk failures are a common occurrence but I've never had one go bad (knock on wood again). In any event, since I have a printout (several to be exact), I don't worry about the floppy going bad. I went to the Microsoft Office forum and it was suggested that I need to open the encrypted file on the same computer. I'm using the same computer but I just updated from Office 2005 to Enterprise 2007, so that's where the problem lies. Thanks for your advice.

Denise, It is high time for you to dump those hundreds of floppies and backup your data to a pen drive or USB hard disk. Both are cheap, portable and reliable. :) Carlos >I print a copy of the list so that I can write in passwords for new > websites/password changes.

And it's a LOT faster. ;) SignatureCharlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel > Denise, > It is high time for you to dump those hundreds of floppies and backup your [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] >>> >> there >>> >> something else I can do? The list is 3 pages long. Backing up my files to floppy disks was the procedure where I used to work (for 13 years). I started with DOS and then installed Windows 95. The computer had the 6" floppies. I was given a new pc a few years later and installed Windows 98 and started using the 3.5" floppies. I don't work there any longer but I couldn't change the procedure. On my own pc, I have 18 ext hdds, some for originals and some for backups. I'll tell you though, I have more probs with my ext hdds than I did with floppies, but backing up to floppies isn't practical for my personal files at home.
