Hi Andy,
Go to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Windows Easy
Transfer. There are various options available for
transferring data, and various methods for actually
connecting the two devices.
There's an FAQ about this in Vista's Help system. Just
search for "Easy Transfer".
I did go the special USB East Transfer cable route myself
when I needed to copy stuff from my wife's old laptop to the
new one.
It did take a while, but the fact that my wife didn't kill
me, suggests that she got all her files and data across.
George.

Hi Saqid.
Thanks very much for your notes. I'm sure they will help me
get started
with VISTA.
I have only been messing about this evening but found it so
easy to
register, to set up my mail account and to listen to my
first sample music
via the WMP.
I'm so impressed. Keep thinking though that something is
going to go wrong
at any moment, as usual. But, touch wood, everything is so
much easier to
set up.
Do you know if I can export my addressbook from Outlook
Express into VISTA.
Also, my folders of files in OE, can I get them over to my
VISTA machine?
Thanks again very much for your support.
Andy.
