Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

[Guest]

I ran Files and Settings Transfer Wizard on my old laptop in July 06, and
stored the data (USMT2.UNC folder, which contains several DAT files) on an
external hard drive. The old laptop has since died. When I run the Files
and Settings Transfer Wizard on my new laptop, and attempt to retrieve the
data, I get this message:

"Your migration store was created with a previous version of Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard. Please collect your settings using the current
version of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. It is available on the
Windows XP CD under Perform Additional Tasks. You can also create a wizard
disk by running the wizard on your Windows XP computer."

The old laptop is stone cold dead, so I'm unable to collect settings using
the current version. How can I work around this?

If you are not running the 64 bit version of XP then you need to uninstall
the Windows optional update KB896344. If you are running 64 bit XP then you
are out of luck.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Make sure there is a tick
beside Show updates. Scroll down to KB896344 and remove it.
