I have windowsXP on a new computer and windows98 on an old computer. I
am trying to get the transfer wizard to work and it will not let the
two computers see each other. I followed the directions and bought a
9pin pc to pc file transfer serial cable. It will not work what am I
doing wrong. I have seen other podts about his and it doesn;t seem
like anyone has gotten transfer wizard to work. help. Thanks Todd

You are correct, the file and settings transfer wizard seems to be difficult
to use via serial cable transfer. I would not suggest this for two
reasons...

1. There are much easier ways which will save time.
2. Transfer rate of files via serial cable is slow.

My question is do you have a CD Burner? If you do not it might be a good
time to invest in one as they are very cheap and IMO they are the best way
for a home user to keep backups of files. If you do have a burner I would
copy the file that is created by the wizard to CD and use this to transfer
the files to the other computer.
