Failed to open document

I tried opening my Mathcad document on a different computer but I keep getting "Failed to open document" notice at this computer. The computer the sheet was created on is running Windows 2000 and the one I am trying to open it on is XP. The sheet has components that are notepad files (just txt files) which I opened on the Windows 2000 computer and resaved. But still cannot open the Mathcad document.

Any idea why this is happening?

Also, both computers have Mathcad 2000 loaded.

What version of Mathcad and what version of antivirus do you have on the machine that does not open the file?

I think there is something wrong with the Mathcad installation on the second computer. It won't even allow me to create a new component in a new document, I keep getting an "internal error" message.

Oh, then you should definitely un-install and re-install. If there are service packs, they should all be installed within the same session. Even opening up Mathcad before installing the service packs have been known to cause problems.
