I have a Windows ME desktop from which I am trying to transfer data to an XP laptop. What I have tried so far:

Computer has a D-link Airplus DWL-G520 rev. B wireless adapter but it will not connect to my wireless network. Ran some troubleshooting software and searched on D-link website for help but to no avail.

A CD burner was physically installed into one of the available slots but the computer does not have software for burning. I tried downloading BurnAware, a free software program, but when trying to install it I get the error message "_regdll has caused an error in NMSDVDXU.DLL. _regdll will now close." and it will not install. I tried running a registry cleaner but it did not help.

Computer has no USB ports.

Is there some kind of cable I can use to directly connect this desktop computer to my new laptop and directly transfer data? Where can I buy one? The ME computer seems to have quite a few errors on it so hopefully there is no involved software installation which might not work.

Thank you very much, I appreciate any input!!

I constantly get pop-ups from Winfixer 2006. They pop up even when no webpage is open. When I attempt to close them, it just pops up another screen. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? I’ve tried several different pop up and spam blockers and removal programs.

will repairing and cleaning my registry stop my computer from system dumping??? it is really annoying. its a brand new computer with windows vista, and it worked for about 2 days. and then it starts system dumping!!!! especially when i try to play a game it dumps and restarts. anyone know how to fix it?
