Here's something I can't figure out:
I bought a new laptop and am transferring files from the old one, through a
USB external drive.
For some of the files, the new machine says "The filename is too long or
filename isn't valid" so the transfer is aborted.
They're both XP machines (well, the old one is XP Home and the new one is XP
Pro).
If the name was fine on the old machine, why isn't it fine on the new one?
Especially since in these cases the names aren't even that long.
I'm guessing I have to set something on the new machine.
Anybody offer any insights?
Thanks!
John
