Default Convert Works wps to word received error

I copied the files to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv
and merged the reg file into the registry it said successful.

How do I send you a copy of the file?

Microsoft is forever changing access through their security measures. Can
you send me a sample document I can test to the link on my web site?

I have, however just tested it with a Works 3 for Windows document created
from Works 9 and the converter opened that without problem from Word 2007
SP2, albeit with a security warning. Did you follow the installation
instructions correctly?

I tried the converter received the error:
"Connot start the converter Works332.cnv"

Re installed it but did not help.

If you have old Works documents, the converter supplied with Word
2007 (not 07 which is something different) may not be able to open
them. It caters only for Works versions 7-9. The one you have
downloaded appears to handle version 6 also. You can add the older
converters (Works versions older than 6) from the downloads page of
my web site.

I received nothing but
"ÐÏ *¡± á þÿ

Does this mean the works file to too old or is it corupt?
