Easy Transfer Prob: Changing Old computer to New computer MSquid 6/25/2007 8:21:02 PM I successfully transferred files from an old XP computer to a new Vista computer using easy transfer. Now I am trying to transfer files from an even older XP computer to the old XP computer I used in the first transfer; i.e., that XP computer was the source of the files in the first transfer (the Old computer), but will be receiving the files in the new transfer, making it now the New computer. My problem is that when I run E.T. it remembers the computer as the Old computer, and only offers to transfer files off of it. Is there some way to change something so that E.T. realizes it is now the New computer? Thanks!

You will need to use the XP FAST (File and Settings Transfer) program to do thus. See the following page for a good set of instructions.
