How do I

[Keith Stevenson]

Before installing xp I did a back up folder of my old 98SE system, intending
to download certain files/games.

The good news is that the folder awaits installation.
The bad news is I don't have a clue how to download it onto xp.

Any suggestions please, or am I just being thick

Hi Keith,

Data files can simply be copied over using Windows Explorer. Programs need
to be installed from their original installation media. Only installing
creates needed registry entries and places needed files in the system
folder.
