| | Easy Transfer will not start up second time I cancelled Easy Transfer when it was scanning my old XP SP2 machine and restarted it, planning to choose a different option. I got the new password and keyed it in but now the XP machine cannot connect to the Vista machine. I've tried it both ways. |

Why don't you just copy your data to CD, Memory Stick, External Drive, etc, and transfer it that way to Vista. And manually redo your personal settings in Vista; it doesn't take THAT long to do!

| | RE: Easy Transfer will not start up second time Update: I also downloaded the EZT Companion Beta and it transferred about 40 programs beautifully. Now you must admitk that was a timesaver. Then just for grins I restarted EZT and it did create the connection, but now it hangs on the XP machine as soon as it starts the file size calcs. Any ideas (other than just do it manually)?

| | RE: Easy Transfer will not start up second time More progress. I decided to migrate only my own objects, and unchecked all the others. The transfer worked, but every folder I try to open on the Vista machine gives me an error: C:\... is not accessible. Access is denied. ID's are the same on both computers. How do I get to all the files that got migrated? "Geoff" wrote: Quote: > Update: I also downloaded the EZT Companion Beta and it transferred about 40 > programs beautifully.
