There is an attachment to one of my replies in this thread.

[It was created in Mapsource.All my older files that have been either created, or saved from the gps to mapsource can not be opened anymore, but all the newer ones I've created or saved I can open.I'm wondering if its because of windows 8.1 on my new laptop?]

It was created in Mapsource.
All my older files that have been either created, or saved from the gps to mapsource can not be opened anymore, but all the newer ones I've created or saved I can open.
I'm wondering if its because of windows 8.1 on my new laptop?

There are .gdb some are .gpx
I'm wondering if windows 8.1 is the problem.
The routes I've created with this new laptop I'm able to open & edit.
I'll attach a file to see if anyone can open it

[I have both basecamp & mapsource but prefer using MSI have years worth of routes & tracks I've saved to my computer.Up until I got this new laptop w/ windows 8.1 I was able to open edit & send to my GPS and save my tracksNow when I try to open files in my computer i get a message saying it not a valid MapSource file. And it also will not open in BaseCamp.I've also tried opening the back up files from an external drive still can't open them, un-installed both BC & MS re-installed them still no luck.I think I've sent the files as an attachment to friends and they can open and view the file.Any ideas?I'm very frustrated I've possibly lost yrs worth of data.Thanks in advance.K]
