I just set up a new system and want to tranfer the settings, address book
and email from the old system to the new system. The old system has Windows
2000 and the new system Windows XP. I tried the transfer wizard in Windows
XP but it creats an error message when I attempt to tranfsfer the files. Can
I just copy the files from the old system to the new system over a small
network? If so what files do I transfer? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!
