I recently got a new computer with Vista. I had a number of programs that I
downloaded and saved to separate folders in XP, and I copied these to a
download folder in Vista. Some of them look just as they looked under XP --
that is, I can check the filename, and I can see the date modified by
selecting view>details. However, there are a number that do not have date
modified. Instead, there is a column for "date taken" (which is always
blank -- no date at all), a column for tags (also blank), and a column for
rating (with five stars, none filled in). Programs that have been saved
with "date taken" do not install correctly -- either there is an error
message, or an empty window is opened.
Can anyone explain what is going on here? Is this a discrepancy between XP
and Vista, or do I have a serious problem?
Thanks,
