Easy Windwos file transfer and. Extraction of PST

I flattened and reinstalled Vista using an external hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer of file to move the data and settings.  Extract the files on the reconditioned machine went well, except for the .pst file.  I received a file error in the application section which noted that a programme was being used.  I checked the Task Manager to make sure that Outlook and communicator even did not run.  I restarted the easy transfer with the same result.  I then tried to run the utility on a computer different from Win 7 but has encountered the same problem of extraction with the pst.  Is there a way to manually extract the PST file or any other file from the .mig?

Hello ToddNandP,

Thank you for posting.  Outlook opened when you initially used easy transfer to save the PST file?  When you close Outlook, the program window closes but if you have large files of pst so that the actual process of Outlook can continue running in the background so time.  If that was the case when you have saved the file it is likely that the pst is corrupt.  This could explain why your system thinks that the file is in use.  To my knowledge and my research on the web there is no a way to extract one single mig file other than its use Easy Transfer.

Thank you

Jack

  • Changing to a new computer from vista to windows 7. My file transfer and deletion of personal information, including files from my old computer for security reasons

    I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.

    Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?

    I would appreciate any advice, thanks

    Several options;

    (1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data

    Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside

    (2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer

    Old PC;

    The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings

    McAfee

    Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key

    New PC

    Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.

  • Windows 7 to windows 8 Easy slow transfer and buggy

    Trying to transfer files from a computer laptop windows 7 to a windows laptop 8 (the two Samsungs BTW)

    After following the instructions for a network connection and put the magic number in the windows box 8

    They (as in laptops) check for Updates of simple file transfer and rub a line from 0 to 400 and something

    The box of windows 8 and then stops and displays a weird message on the other laptop being in another language (the two are set to English (UK), kbd UK UK local kbd US well and really removed)

    Click OK in this dialog box, however, and she proceeds to transfer files very slowly

    I tried on a 802.11n wireless and then a 100 M Ethernet wired and he chose to transfer about 700Kbs

    +++Therefore the 60 GB will be around 200 hours of transfer.

    More than a week BTW, a week in which two laptops can be used.

    Should I go and get an iPad?

    Hi Michael,

    The transfer time depends on the size of the file/disc that you are trying to transfer from one computer to another computer.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to transfer files and check if the problem persists. Clean boot will help you determine which third party/PPP program is causing this problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 or Windows 8 / 8.1:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, see the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, so that we can better help you.

  • Messages - file transfer fail to all types of files (pdf, pages, jpeg, png,...).

    Since a few days now, I have been able to receive any type of files in Messages app. I tried a few things that I could find online (and in previous discussions of apple). Nothing has worked. The only time I am able to open a file is when I send it to someone else or that I send it to me.

    I have tried disconnecting, signature by signing in with a different address and even someone else, have removed the thinking com.apple.ichat.jabber.plist that as is, jabber, etc.

    In addition, I don't have an iPhone, so my phone is not connected to the Messages.

    Here's what happens:

    I click on the file to download, but nothing happens.

    If I go to the 'file transfer' and then click on the download arrow, it shows "preparing..." " for about two seconds and then stops without loading anything.

    When I open "Console", I get this message after receiving a file:

    Is there something I can do to solve this problem, or I can only hope the next Messages updated to fix it?

    Thank you for your help (to come)!

  • File ran and transfer settings Wizard Installation all users in Administrator account info

    I did a Windows XP Pro 32-bit clean install on a laptop.  After I installed all the software and drivers on the machine, I ran the file and Assistant to bring users account on the machine to transfer the parameters.  The problem is that I stumbled accidentally while still connected as long as administrator, all the information of users installing to the default Administrator account.  Y at - it an easy way to remove the users from the administrator account info, or to delete the administrator account take it back to the installed version of basic?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Original title: using files and Settings Transfer Wizard. Oops

    Hello

    I suspect that Naman R misinterpreted your post. My interpretation is that you have used the Wizard Windows XP file / transfer settings, no Windows Easy Transfer.

    Assuming you still have available transfer fluid, which is a kind of external drive (USB, probably), there is no reason why you should transfer the settings again, but in the correct user profile.

    With respect to the transfer in the account manager, all the parameters of implementation of changes should be reversible system restore (start - all programs-Accessories-System Tools System Restore). Data can only be deleted while signed in as an administrator. Do the system restore before doing the right files and transfer settings, otherwise it will also cancel these changes in settings that have been applied to the appropriate user profiles.

    Hi George P Boutwell,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I think that VMware has a 64-bit/function version. You will need to contact them to verify this.
    64-bit to 32-bit is not supported by Windows Easy Transfer, as far as I know.

    I hope this helps.

    Unless the site you develop is for the Asian market, I don't know why you want to use that particular font. The Basic, standard and digital alphabet punctuation glyphs has sans serif, Roman characters, but the rest is thousands of Kanji characters. While you can use the font .ttf and .otf and web fonts, it would be very unusual to use one so great. Pages should load quickly and 78 MB, with a value of faces to download for those who have connections slow Internet is not fast.

    I would take a different font without serifs. There are literally thousands who look identical or virtually identical to Yuanti.

    131 free and high quality without font serif to choose here. I'm sure you can find a desired.

    1. do you have a third party compression/extraction of software installed on your machine?
    2. do you get an error message when you try to extract the files?
    3. is the relevant question for the particular file type?
    4. don't you make changes to your computer before the problem?

    Follow the steps and check if they help.

    Step 1:

    Open zip files is to open the folder and drag the content to another folder.
