Do it the "hard" way which is really the easy way. Just copy the
folders your important stuff is in either to a DVD you burn or just
put on a external drive. I wouldn't by Belkin anything. Junk. I've had
two of their UPSs fail, a power strip fail and after about a month of
use a component cable had one connector become loose after only about
4 or 5 pulls off and not yanking either.

Thanks Adam. I lucked out, as my File Transfer was 99% accurate. The only
problem is that my Outlook 2003 won't work. Based on your advice, what Office
files (specifically Outlook) should I copy to a CD to place on my new PC?
Thanks.

Any suggestions for what? To protect your data? Personally I recommend you
image everything before doing any transfers so a copy of the data is safe.
Look at Acronis True Image Home and an external USB hard drive.

As BOTH replies stated, I need suggestions on how to get my saved e-mails and
stuff onto my new PC. I finally got Outlook 2007 to work, and I do have the
..pst files on this hard drive, so the NEW question is how do I get them to
Outlook?

Well the message of yours I replied to, quoted below, didn't say anything
about what you wanted suggestions on. Messages need to be self contained or
selectively quote from other posts it to keep the context.
Sorry I don't use Outlook. I suggest you post to one of the Outlook
newsgroups though. Good folks in there. Look under
microsoft.public.outlook. They are OS independent. Good luck.

Post subject: easy transfer fails again and again. gosh what a surprise [Login to view extended thread Info.] Archived from groups: per prev. post (more info?)
I've tried every method for the "easy" transfer program and it really stinks.
The VISTA side installs OK (by the way is it necessary to make us all
upgrade for questionable cosmetics? - my webmail client no longer works, etc
etc.). No matter what I do on the XP SP2 side, I get a few encouraging
indications of activity, then the "starting Windows Easy Transfer" thing
minimizes to the task bar and stays there for ever and ever. Any ideas on
how to kick the XP part in the CPU?
Really sick of the whole process so far. What a waste of time and millions
of dollars. Thanks again Billy Boy, by the way I understand your entire
house runs on NT, and now I understand why.
