| | Esay Tranfer Hangs on Startup I’m trying to use Windows Easy Transfer from XP2 Media Edition to Vista Premium on another machine. I’ve burned WET to a CD and also copied it to the hard drive and when I run it on the XP machine, it stalls on “Starting Windows Easy Transfer”. At first, I see CPU usage for migwiz.exe for a few minutes then it drops to zero and task manager shows that it is no longer responding. I can leave it this way for hours and it will never progress. I’ve been in the IT business for a long time and I’ve kept a pretty clean install on the XP machine. I’ve shut down the antivirus/spyware/firewall stuff. I’ve done some online searching and I’ve seen that several others have posted having this same problem but I have yet to find a resolution anywhere. Any idea what’s going on? -- Thanks, Vicki |

| | RE: Esay Tranfer Hangs on Startup Yes. I get to method 2, step 1 on the source computer and that’s where it hangs. -- Thanks, Vicki "Mick Murphy" wrote: Quote: > http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/928634/en-us > > Have you done what it says to do in the above WET link? > > "Vicki" wrote: > Quote: > > I’m trying to use Windows Easy Transfer from XP2 Media Edition to Vista > > Premium on another machine.

| | RE: Easy Tranfer Hangs on Startup I’ve also tried to run this from a network drive as well and nothing works.

| | RE: Easy Tranfer Hangs on Startup Vicki, I never have any faith in WET. Best and safest ways to transfer Data is via burning CDs, memory sticks, Externals HDs, etc, For settings, it is easy enough to just redo them. For email contacts and addresses, it is easy enough to go to email program> file> export(contacts and/or messages); then on Vista go to the same spot(no OE!) file>import(FromCD or mem stick) Hope that helps "Vicki" wrote: Quote: > I’ve also tried to run this from a network drive as well and nothing works. > I think that this is a problem that Microsoft is aware of but has no solution. > -- > Thanks, > Vicki > > > "Vicki" wrote: > Quote: > > Yes.

| | RE: Easy Tranfer Hangs on Startup Yes, since it seems that there is no solution to this problem, I’ve decided to give up on it and do it the old fashioned way. I’d like to actually start using my new computer instead of fighting with the old one.
