it sounds like a cohesion linking and embedding file for windows, but not sure. Try rebooting in safe mode and start you internet link then. If anyone thinks this is wrong, chime in.

all the more reason to upgrade and get past windows 98 and windows ME, it will help eliminate a lot of these isssues.

Also, you have to always choose custom/advanced when you install software, so you can see what options are there, and ONLY install the crap you need to install

Basically to transfer filles to the new pc there are several ways, in windows XP microsoft even includes one called Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (FAST).

I Do believe you need some type of CDRW or extrnal hard drive to store data until you get it to the new one. Of course unless you have a home network, where you can hook up more than one pc to and simply share the files.


Here is a link from Microsoft about the FAST wizard

With a back up external hard drive, store all your data on that, it's a good idea to back it all up anyway if you fear losing it hen it's always there, import it into your new machine. The chances of both failing at the same time are relatively slim.

From you asking that question, I would assume that you dont have a cdrw or DVDR drive on your current computer. As KMA said, it is always a good idea to make frequent backups, as computers can have a mind of their own sometimes. Invest in a usb external drive or large flash drive. (I bought a new 1GB flash drive the day after Thanksgiving for $39). It may take a couple of hours on a flash drive but it is the easiest. Set up the new computer, copy file to the flash drive, stick it in new computer drag into new folder.

Here is the link to the migration tool:

that should explain it pretty well.
