SyncToy

[Rick]

I have been trying to set up SyncToy2 between my XPSP2 desktop and my Vista
Home Premium laptop. The results have been irregular at best. Is there a
problem of communication between the two systems? Is it possible to
synchronise the two computers with SyncToy2?

Thanks in advance.

maybe there is
incompatibility
issues.

but as a last ditch
effort, you might
try turning off your
firewalls and antivirals
to eliminate these
possibilities.

I checked that out and installed it. Same problem. I now think it has
something to do with setting the sharing details. Somehow I have to set the
Vista folders to allow changes from the XP machine. Even when I run SyncToy
from the Vista laptop, it only works some of the time. Doesn't anyone have
experience with this kind of XP<->Vista synchronization?
