Easy Transfer
I want to use the "windows easy transfer" program to my new Vista system, but
the old XP machine keeps coming up with "not responding." How can I repair the not responding? I have rebooted and reistalled about 50 times. |

Is it a Network connection, or a "Easy Transfer USB Cable"? Serial port
cables don't work well enough. -- Was this post helpful to you? Voting helps others who use the web interface. Mark L.

I have the Belkin USB Cable. When that cable gets plugged in the easy
transfer program opens up, but when I hit the next button nothing happens. Then I open up task manager and it says not responding. "Mark L.

Easy Transfer
I would suspect some USB driver problem on one end, or the other. In both
systems: Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the USB Root Hub device(s), Action menu, "Uninstall", then restart Windows, to find the device drivers again automatically. -- Was this post helpful to you?

Same result. The CPU goes up extremely high after plugging in the cable.

touch base with these other problems, hoping for some kind of hint into your problem. a special problem: The user name and password are not transferred when you try to use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and settings from a Windows-based computer to a Windows Vista-based computer : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929821/en-us and a list of issues : How to use Windows Easy Transfer Companion to transfer programs from Windows XP with Service Pack 2 to Windows Vista : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931696/en-us -- Was this post helpful to you?

Easy Transfer
A later find. This says you must have SP2 in XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/des.../getstg_3.mspx If all else fails, and since this is an important issue, I would suggest removing SP2, (if possible, in Add/remove), and maybe even then doing a Repair setup of XP, then reinstall SP2 to try the Easy Transfer. -- Was this post helpful to you?

Instead of doing the uninstall of SP2 I'll try doing a repair. And thank you
so much for your continued assistance on this matter! P.S. Just to see what should happen with the easy transfer program I started the process at work on my desktop and it worked. Tested another person's laptop also. Appears to be something unique on my home computer. "Mark L. Ferguson" wrote: A later find.
