I likely to encounter when I get a new machine with Vista on it. Transfering files: what is some of the easy ways. Software: probably more difficult; I have install disks for some, but not sure if they will work on Vista, and I cannot afford to buy them again.

I got directions for this with my new PC & from the Microsoft website. In one of their few areas of consistency, both said I needed to install WET on the old XP computer, which I did by downloading form the MS website. On my first attempt, my new computer said the files created on my portable hard disk by my old computer running WET could not be read. They had be copied as read only and could not be read evenafter I changed that attribute. On my second attempt, WET on my new computer told me that the DAT files created by the old one were created by an earlier WET version and could not be transferred. But I installed WET AFTER I bought the new computer from the allegedly up-to-date MS website.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the File Transfer control to download files from the Technet download site. I am trying to do the download at night when I'm sleeping so it's the only thing occupying bandwidth. For whatever reason, while the transfer is in progress, my system will fall asleep. My power settings are the defaults, so what do I need to change to make the system not sleep when it's active?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to get the File Transfer Manager program to work with Vista SP1. The only way I can get it to work is if I turn off UAC. Otherwise I receive an error "Unable to open file on client". I found the "workaround" about creating a folder, but this doesn't work. I've tried both the ActiveX install, and manually downloading and installing FTM. (The manual download route doesn't work with UAC on or off.) Also with UAC on, the program won't save any settings. (Also turned off popup blocking), and the ActiveX settings in IE7 are correct. (Looked at during a tech support call). So, what am I missing? Gotta be a way to make it work with UAC on....?

Before uninstalling Office 2003 I stored some Outlook pst-files (e-mail, contacts and archive files). How can I import these files into Windows Mail/Contacts on my new laptop (Windows Vista/MS Office 2007 H&S). I tried Windows Easy Transfer, but it didn't work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I can't get decent file transfer speeds between my two Vista machines (Home Premium x64 SP1 and Ultimate 32bit SP1). If I attempt to transer a 1GB file between the two Vista machines I get about 14MB/s, however if I transfer the same file between either of those machines and my Mac laptop it get about 40MB/s. So far I've tried the following to no affect: the steps mentioned in the Window Auto Tuning tutorial but it didn't seem to help. tried transfering the file between the two Vista machines using FileZilla (a free FTP server) and that showed the same slow network speeds. changed over the network cables to brand new CAT6 cables but that didn't help.

I may want to transfer a WAV speech file from my recorder to my computer, where it might wind up being converted to a text file by Marty's "WSRToolkit". Have not decided yet whether or not to buy the toolkit. Does the cable plug into the computers USB socket? ....or into the earphone mini plug of the computer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem when transferring files across my LAN. I have a Windows Vista Premium 32-bit PC connected to a D-Link DIR-655 router. The router then connects to my ISP. I also have a network storage device (Drobo with Droboshare).I am attempting to transfer files too and from my PC to the Drobo. At times the PC network connection is freezing, usually mid-file transfer. I can reproduce this also when transferring files to another PC. It can be triggered either when sending a large file (2gb) or when sending many small to medium size files (i.e. a photo collection).
The network interface on the PC shows as 'Local only'. In the IP settings it still shows that it is assigned an IP from the router. If I try to repair the connection it fails. I cannot disable the connection. I cannot ping any other PC or network device, nor ping or connect to the router. I have to reboot the PC at which point it works as normal. If I test using my laptop (Windows XP) when this issue occurs it can connect to other PC's, the network devices and the internet perfectly. The router shows no errors in it's log, from the router point of view the connection is available. Any advice on how to fix this or even how to progress on diagnosing it? This is so frustrating as I bought a network storage device and right now it is useless and I cannot transfer files to/from it successfully.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIf I decide to upgrade to Win 7 and do a clean install, could I use Easy File Transfer to retain my Outlook, Web Settings and Files? I have two internal hard drives, not raid, and an external eSATA drive. All 3 are the same size, 500GB. So I think I have the resources, I just don't want to lose data, favorites, contacts, files or emails. Having never used Easy File Transfer, how should I proceed? Store my easy transfere to my second HD "D", format C, install Win 7? I guess I need to buy a version of Win 7 that will read my Vista Easy File backup...duh... Is Win 7 Pro able to read Vista Easy File Transfers? I have two accounts on this computer, mine and my wife's, so there another issue too.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Vista 64x workstation since Nov 08 which has been fine until recently. It has started having network problems when accessing large numbers of files from remote locations. I have a readyNAS network storage device with a number of shares which are mounted as network drives on the PC, wired ethernet. Vista is set up as a private network and set to trust the LAN. The readynas is flawless when accessed from other XP and Vista machines on the LAN.
Recent example, tried loading on photos from a camera, approx 700 files. Went fast at first, but over 300 files, copying would slow to a crawl - 16Kb. While this is happening, other LAN access and internet access becomes intermittent. If I use picasa, which accesses all photos on the remote drive, it'll work for a while but then crawl, only in this case the whole machine slows down. I've tried disabling auto-tuning but that made no difference.
I am attempting to transfer files & settings using the Belkin Easy Transfer cable from an XP computer to a Vista computer. All starts well by showing that the two computers are connected. But after finding the files and settings and providing the amount of data to be transferred, it starts gathering information but then shows a flashing disconnection icon in the upper right of both computers' transfer windows and freezes. This happens at a different place each time, but early in the procedure (after about 10 minutes). Would anyone have any advice? I have done everything by the book, as far as I'm aware.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have had the common problem on not being able to install KB938371 update which is one of the 3 prerequisites to downloading through Microsoft Update the SP1. I have tried all the tricks and suggestion published throughout the web except an in place reinstall of Vista Business. This is highly undesireable since my sony laptop will only reinstall Vista Business as per original with all the software originally shipped which is a pain to remove.
If I download the entire sp1 750mb file, will it install without the prerequsite files? I have read that the prerequisites were actually a compilation of sp1 files and not an actual update to Vista. This being the case, it seems that if the sp1 file were downloaded it would work.
I have Vista on my new computer and my husband recently added a signature to his email file at work with a logo. I can no longer see his text in the emails he sends to me. I also cannot type anything in the email created when replying to these messages. I should note that he has Vista at work also on some of their computers including the one he uses and he has none of these issues. Is there a setting I need to change? I've searched the internet along with this site for a solution and haven't seen this particular problem. If need be I can send the email property details to show you. When I got to properties of the email and show the details, it shows the message included in 'part 1' of the message.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTo rename a file, you do not need to open the file in a program.
Right-click the file that you want to rename, and then click Rename.
Type the new name, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Tip
You can also rename several files at once. If you give files of the same type the same name, each file will have the same name followed by a different sequential number (such as Renamed File (2), Renamed File (3), and so on). This can be useful for grouping related items. To do this, select all the files you want to rename, and then follow the same steps as you would for renaming an individual file. Each of the files will be saved with the new name, and a different sequential number will be appended automatically to the end of each file name.
I have a system that has FAT16 file system on it. I have that file system on that for some reason so I don’t need to upgrade on that….but recently I had some files deleted and now I need to get them back. They are important for my official use and hold great importance. I know that there is software for recovery but since I have a FAT16 file system I guess that all won’t work on that.

I have a HP desktop running Vista premium. I "had" an Emachine that ran XP, but it died.

I'm hearing of a USB adapter of some sort that will do it...is that true? I went on Ebay, saw some USB's but am not sure they will do what I need for them to do.
