Phil,
My name is Cheryl and I will be helping you. Go to your system folder>preference folder and look for the PC Exchange pref file and trash it. Now go to the Apple Menu>Control Panels and select PC Exchange. Make sure it is turned on and you have your word processor or simple text selected to open the pc documents. Now restart the computer and hold down the option and command(apple) keys after you see the happy mac, until you get a dialog box asking if you wish to do a desktop rebuild. Click on okay. After that is done, empty the trash and give it a try. You should be reading those floopies okay after that.
Keep me posted.
