Thanks Reese, I didn't know about the transfer wizard however I have not been successful yet. I am moving from XP Home to Vista Pro, the programmes are a little different but neither do they seem to work well for me.
I thought I might transfer the few MP3 files I wanted, a couple of Word documents and my mail folders and saved messages. when I selected MP3 it grabbed a huge number of CDs my son had recorded in Itunes, they are of no use to me since Itunes isn't of use to me and isn't on this computer anyway. That be as it may, several megs were compressed and stored on a memory stick as instructed but then when that was inserted into this Vista machine and the programme started there didn't seem to be an option to retrieve the .dat file off of the memory stick.It told me to insert the media, I did, hit OK then it kept going round and round until I closed the programme. Anyway just knowing the programmes are there is a much better start. I can manually move the files I need to except apparently the e-mail messages and structure, there must be a way though. I didn't have any real trouble moving the contacts using export and import. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reese" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 11:24 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Moving folders and messages from one computertoanother? > > > Dale: > > Did this successfully yesterday using Vista's file transfer wizard > program. > Start menu/programs/accesssories/system tools/windows easy transfer. > > It gives you a number of ways to transfer your data over to your new > computer.
