I bought Laplink PCmover to transfer from old XP computer to new Windows 7 box. [View All]

It includes software and a USB easy transfer cable. Just fire it up and watch it run, yaaaay!

No joy. :-(

I was able to load the software and establish a link between the two comupters but the connection kept dropping before the transfer could occur. At length I decided to just use Windows Easy Transfer. That way both computers recognized the Laplink USB 2.0 transfer cable but I could not get a link between the two established.

Think I'll just haul out a router and some CAT5 and set up network between the two computers. Then hopefully Windows Easy Transfer will work. I only wanted PCmover because I want to transfer a program or two, but this has already taken more time than I would have spent without it - not to mention wasted money.
