| I, too, have the same problem.
| Files and settings transfer wizard runs normally on the old computer.
| USMTR2.UNC folder created that contains IMG00001.dat and status.
| But when I run Files and Settings Transfer Wizard on the new computer and
| select the folder USMTR2.UNC, it gives this error message.
| This occurs if the USMTR2.UNC is on the old computer, new computer, or
| another computer on the network.
| Has a correction for this error been posted??
