Hi,

Programs will need to be reinstalled using their original installation
media. Only an upgrade would migrate programs as part of the install, or you
could have used the Easy Transfer Companion prior to the install to migrate
programs. The file created with XP's backup utility is not compatible with
Vista, you'll need to recover data in it using an XP system.

Hi,

Windows Easy Transfer is on the Vista DVD and can be used in XP to migrate
data and settings. The Easy Transfer Companion is used for programs and can
be found here:
