I have a laptop with windows XP on it. I bought a tower that has Windows 7.
I downloaded windows easy transfer to my laptop. Everytime I try to run it,
it says that i am on a temporary profile and I have to restart to use it. I
have restarted 5 times now and I am getting close to going Wal-mart to get a
$40 data transfer cable. Any help would be nice.

$40?!?! Jeex, that's a lot of money. If you need the cable give places like
Cyberguys.com or belkin.com a look-see. Or your favorite place for such
items. I was billed $0.00 for mine and it came with the win 7 disks.

Sorry I can't help with the other.
