Transferring - nomercy - 15-12-2007
I have a new computer. That's right kiddies, nomercy no longer has a junky XP laptop. Now he has a shiny new Vista dual-core laptop. It's extremely tedious though, transferring all my music I need to it. I've done 7 artists so far, and that took 3 shots with my USB flash drive. Fortunately I'm not putting everything on it, so I'll still have much space.
On a sad note though, I can't get BB to run on the new one.
T_T
However, I might just decide to stop being a Scrooge and pay for a Guardian's License for PSU.

Cant you network the two together so you dont have to use a usb drive?
Transferring - nomercy - 15-12-2007
I'm not sure, really. The old one which I'm using now, until I'm done transferring everything, is about three years old or so, whilst the new one is pretty new. I have no idea about networking computers together in that way, as when I tried putting the Vista laptop onto our home LAN, it kicks the XP offline.

vista consumes alot of memory, shell icons for example and i hate warnings like "this program needs your authorization to continue"
2 gb of memory solves this memory problem.
or install xp, upgrade with vista transformation pack or similar......memory cost will decrease the xp functions maintains, and you get vista looks.

You are also aware that this nullifies the guarantee to the machine, correct? So if something goes wrong and I've done that, I'm screwed. I'll stick with real Vista. Besides, I'm running a dual-core with 2GB RAM, so it's not a big problem for me. Plus the fact this is for word-processing more than anything else; I have a big project for university, and my current craptop probably won't cut it.

Stick to it for my 3 year guarantee, at least.

If your sanity maintains for those 3 years of using Vista... wait... you never had any... Okay Vista shall be fine! Just don't wind up slicing your computer in half in a fit of rage when Vista decides to make 90% of your programs not work.
