If anyone has time, let me know if you can think of anything to help my dilemma here.
So, one of the partners at the accounting firm I work at purchased a new laptop. Her old laptop she figured she would give to one of the employees for fieldwork. The thing is old, but useable, and she wanted everything erased from it with a new o/s install, so it ended up in my office. It's using Windows Me, so it will get a fresh install of Windows XP. However, an old program we used to use was discovered to be on this thing. It is called "Workpapers Plus for Windows", made by Creative Solutions. Evidently the install discs were floppies for this program and one of the floppy disks is now unreadable. This laptop that is slated to get nuked is the only computer we have that has this program on it, and I guess they would like to save it if possible in any way.
I've tried searching for this program on the web to no avail. This program is also no longer available for purchase through Creative Solutions (we are now using their "CS suite" accounting software package). Is there any way to install this program onto another computer based on the already installed program on the laptop? I figure I'm out of luck on this, but figured it would be worth a shot to post this up before I nuke the thing.
Thanks for any replies.
