Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.
I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one. I tried every password I never used (caps on and outside), as well as the code given at the beginning of the Easy Transfer, but nothing works. What can I do? (I use an external hard drive)
Hello
If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are
- Your old XP machine is usable
- It still allows to log
- There is no password required when you don't sign
So you can try this...
- Click Start
- Click on Control Panel
- Click on user accounts
- Give your XP logon password
- Restart your XP machine
- Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4

new computer how to do everything from my old computer to my new computer
You can transfer files and settings with Windows XP files and the transfer settings Wizard, but you can not transfer the programs installed using any method whatsoever - you will need to reinstall these programs. If your new computer is not Windows XP but Windows 7 then use the program Windows Easy Transfer, included in Windows 7 rather than the files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

transfer files from your old computer, use old hard drive?
I just buy new desktop HP Pavilion p6-2120. I need to transfer files, programs, etc from my 6 year old Dell desktop computer. I know that I can use the program of transfer of Windows 7 with USB key, easy transfer cable, or external hard drive to move the files.
As can another method of transfer, I take the old hard drive from the Dell desktop computer & install in the new HP Pavilion? Is the old hard drive (ATX 80 GB, 7200 RPM, DIM2, XPS2) compatible with the new HP where it will work again?
Since I am not transfer that much is the best for any purchase a Windows 7 transfer cable?
mikesimms,
Your theory is correct. If you want that all settings, email, documents, photos, music, and other data files, use either the program Windows Easy Transfer. It will accept an external device or use the easy transfer cable.
If you want only the documents, photos, music, and other data files , then you could add the XP disk to the system (temporarily use the p6-2120 DVD player wiring). You can copy files to the new folders.

Download files from an old computer hardrive in my laptop
I am trying to download files from an old hardrive to my laptop and do not know how or what cable I need to connect.
Can anyone help?
You 'download' of the internet.
Depends on what files, you can only transfer data or complete installation files, not applications.
More simple way to copy the data to a memory stick, then stick to new pc (probably from the Documents folder)

I use Apophysis7x15 c.9 fractal generator program that I downloaded years ago and have used every day since I downloaded it. It creates. FLAME files to save on my E: drive. Today I tried to recover the files already stored on the flash drive to complete the work on the image I have for years, and he gave me the message "List index out of bounds" and refused to access my folder. What can I do to fix this? The last time that my computer had an update was on 21/09/2012 from Microsoft for the Microsoft Windows security update. I used these files several times since then.

Warning box when you try to delete a file from the Flash Player
Music & Pictue files where it occurs. It seems that each file has a "desktop" - a file system file.
The warning in the box is"If you remove it, your computer or one of your programs may no longer work correctly. Are you sure you want to delete? »
What are the chances of that happening. Or how to remove these files at all?
Russ Alan
Thank you! So, I thought it was like that, but I didn't do it without precision!

Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library
There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library. When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens. The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer. However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!). I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me. How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library? I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

I am running windows 7, I had to recover my files on an external hard drive when my old computer crashed. I created a new profile as described in the Web site of firefox and copied all the files into it. I just need to know how to use the new profile when I open firefox, just delete the old profile? Or do I have to reinstall firefox.
If you no longer have need or intention to use this older profile, then you can use the Profile Manager to delete this profile and delete the files.

transfer files from your old computer with video card damaged to new computer
my old computers video card is damaged can not read anything on the monitor. I want to transfer files to my laptop. Old computer has windows xp new computer has windows vista. I can do this with just an easy transfer cable?
Hello
Put the hard drive from the old computer in the new computer as a 2nd drive. Or turn the player
in an external USB enclosure. Or the other must allow you to access the files.I hope this helps.

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.
