file is THERE. The location that you specified does not contain stored
information. Please type a valid folder path into the edit box". HOW DO I
GET MY DATA? Everything seems to be right.

What message? What guy? Since most of the psychics have left
for the weekend this is the best I can do.

Don't point the wizard directly to the USMT2.UNC folder.
Instead point it one level up. For example, if you have the
files stored here, C:\Brant\USMT2.UNC, make sure C:\Brant is
the location listed in the wizard.

Also, make sure the "new" computer is running at the same
service pack level as the computer that created the file.
Install this update as well:

If none of these suggestions solves you problem, take a look at
these articles:

Sounds like your new machine and old machine have different versions of the
F.A.S.T. wizard.
You need to import with the same version you exported with in order to
guarantee it will work as desired. If you still have access to the old and
new - use your Windows XP CD -> Other -> Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
to export and then to import the profile.
