Windows XP Home Edition

| I got such great help yesterday, now I am setting up another computer
and haven't figured out how to transfer files.
I want to transfer files from #1 computer that is running Windows 98 to
computer #2 that is running Windows XP Home Edition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| I tell you the first thing I would do to make things a lot easier. I would
go to my control panel in the XP computer, go to I think it's appearance and
themes and find the setting that makes the start menu look like Windows 98
instead of that silly way they have it set up in XP. Then tell me a little
more specifically what you're needing, because otherwise, it works exactly
the same. I'm running 98, ME, and XP on my network and it's not much
different.
But, do this first. On the XP computer go to your control panel, networking
option, and somewhere down the left side, hit the home networking wizard.
Let it do everything it needs to do and then when it asks if you want to
make a disk to run it on other computers, hit no. Once you get that far, you
should see it set up just like your original two that you had.
Just keep asking, I'll keep answering. LOL

| Great and thanks, Dani!!
I blew my knee out again earlier this evening and the ibuprofen is
making me sleepy right now. I will do what you have here so far, then
ask more questions tomorrow.
Thanks again!

| I used a "BAFO' USB direct connect transfer cable to transfer about 6 gigs
of mp3s from my laptop to an old desktop, "get a big pot of coffee" (slow)
open a window and a trans window drag and drop file from one machine to
another to folders, but you could probably do the same incrementally with
cdrw's 750 mb external USB or a 250 mb USB zip drive external and have a
"hard" back up for pennies.

| I'm a happy camper! I made the display changes, like them. Then did
the home networking thing. Stumbling into 'My Computer,' I found 'My
Network Places,' and was very easily able to transfer directories adn
files from the old computer to the new one. I am already starting to
like XP!

| I had trouble getting going on XP at first as it just seemed so foreign, but
its ease of use and user friendliness has me sold. I like that so much is
built in that it does so much automatically for you. I can take my laptop
unhook it from my network, go anywhere else that's networked (my parents, my
sister, etc.) plug it in and it recognizes the configuration and I'm ready
to go with no extra setup. The only computer I haven't changed over to XP
yet is this one I work on at my desk and I just never seem to find a full
day to reformat and install it. Someday.....

| Hmmmmmm... XP was sitting here, in standbye mode I guess, monitor dark,
light on the front of the CPU flashing. Then it made a brief whir,
monitor came on, displaying the nice ocean scene for the desktop, and
flashing light went off on the CPU>
A little while later it goes back on standbye.

| Well you have it to where it hibernates or HD turns off. That is your
choice. I have mine where monitor or HD never turns off. But with it being
networked I imagine that your computer sending out feelers to see if it's
still connected interrupted the hibernation and then once it saw it was
still connected left it alone again long enough for it to go back.
