| | Host to Host USB Connections I bought a new computer and I want to transfer all my files from my old computer. Does Windows Vista support host-to-host? As soon as I plugged my USB cable into the computers, I was asked for a device driver. Device drivers are a pretty standard thing, but, is host-to-host not supported at Microsoft now? |

| | Re: Host to Host USB Connections Host to host is still supported by Windows; just not the same way it was historically. IIRC, the host to host cable you have should have come with an installation disk. Have you followed the instructions for you cable? Are there updated instructions on the manufacturers website?

| | Re: Host to Host USB Connections The host-to-host cable I am using is older. I therefore have no packaging for the cable (i.e. instructions) Thank you though.
