I've been using WindowsXP on an Inspiron510m but had serious overheating problems. Dell supplied a 1525 (free of charge as comp for the 510 burning me!)running Vista. All I want to do is transfer files from the 510m to 1525. I cannot and Dell have told me to hire a technician. Is it that complicated? I've tried hard wire connection, wireless..nada !

Concede that I am end user but I can follow instructions.

By the way and to vent my spleen........if I buy a car why should I have to learn the workings of the internal combustion engine...that's what MSoft expect from their products. MSoft products remind me of 1960's cars...unreliable, limited life, and a knowledge of every aspect from brakes to engine timing were essential to avoid garage bills.
