If you have Business or Ultimate, you can restore the deleted files. See Vista's Help for the process. If you Moved the files across a network instead of Copying (and this is why Copying instead of Moving is A Good Thing), then restore the files from backup. If you have no backup, data recovery software may be able to find the files for you. http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html PCInspector File Recovery - http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/welcome.htm Executive Software “Undelete” - http://www.execsoft.com/undelete/undelete.asp R-Studio - http://www.r-tt.com/ File Scavenger - http://www.quetek.com/prod02.htm Ontrack's EasyRecovery - http://www.ontrack.com/software/ Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

| | Re: Transferring files from Vista to XP I do appreciate your help. I contacted my computer manufacturer and they referred me to Microsoft. Microsoft referred me to these message boards. I guess they can't figure it out either. All I really know is that the files worked fine for about 4 weeks and then went corrupt. Only files copied from my Vista computer were affected. My easy remedy is to upload the pictures from my camera onto both computers seperatly. The bottom line is that I would like to fix the problem that occurred. Seems like Microsoft should be more interested in what happened but, they are not. I would hate to think that this might happen to someone else. I am open to discuss any further detail if it would be helpful to anyone. "Malke" wrote: Quote: > River_Rat wrote: Quote: > > I copy and pasted the jpgs.
