I just bought a new PC with Vista 64 - bit OS W and am trying to transfer files/settings from my old PC to the new.

I'm trying to transfer some old files/settings in my current PC which is running W - XP 32 bit for my new PC, which is running W-Vista Premium 64 - bit OS. I bought a USB Data Netlink 2.0 transfer cable, responsible of the software installation disc on my W - XP, find assistants of transfer on both PC & connected cable. I followed the instructions, but my XP system can seem to locate the connection of the cable. I'm not very tech savy, so would appreciate some suggestions/help! Thank you!

"4 click on Device Manager.
5 expand the category to USB
6. do a right click and 'Uninstall' illustrated all USB devices
7. then, restart your computer and try to use the USB transfer cable

The goal is to update the USB stack.
