Cannot Transfer Files

[Bill Beshlian]

I have my new computer with Vista Business on it all set up. I am using the
(USB) Belkin easy tranfer cable to move my files off my old computer running
XP Pro. Both computers detected the cable and loaded the appropriate driver.
However, when I go to launch Easy File Transfer (on my Vista box) or Files
and Settings Transfer Wizard (on my XP box), the computers cannot see each
other. Is this because my Vista machine is USB 2.0 and my XP machine is USB
1.1? Both of my computers have a NIC installed in them. Should I try the
transfer using the NICs instead? TIA.

Have you installed the 'Easy File Transfer' program onto your XP machine
from the supplied CD?
My XP machine has USB 1.1 and my Vista machine USB 2.0 and the transfer
worked ok.

Mick,

Thanks for the response I did that and it worked for a short while. Some of
my files were transferred, then I had to do the remainder by copying them to
CD then loading them from there.
