Sorry that you have been feeling unwell. I had to check with Windows XP as I have not used that machine for ages!
The procedure is the same for XP and Win7, I do not know about Win8 because I do not have it installed - maybe someone else can help? Win7 and XP: Go to Start>(My) Computer>C Drive>Legacy>Data and open the last folder. On the bar at the top click Tools>Folder Options>View. Now work down the list until you reach "Hide extensions for known file types" and uncheck the box. Click the Apply Button and then the "Apply to Folders" Button at the top, then OK. If your family file does not have the extension ".fdb" then opening another folder and immediately reopening the Data folder should resolve this. Please come back to us if you have any problems. In your Data file you should now see a file with the extension ".fdb" and another with ".zip". These are the only two of interest so, at least for the moment, you can forget about all the others. Let us know when you have got to this stage when we can talk about using them.
