How to transfer data from Windows ME desktop computer without Internet, CD burner, or USB drive to XP laptop?

January 3, 2010

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!!

Is my laptop protected through with my virus protection through my ISP?

November 15, 2009

I have Verizon as my ISP and have the Verizon Security Suite as my virus protection for my desktop computer. I just bought a laptop and have connected it to the internet through a Belkin N wireless router. Do I need seperate virus protection on the laptop itself? Thanks!

Windows Vista Freeze Problem?

October 28, 2009

I’ve recently got a new computer, HP Elite Intel Core i7-920 2.66GHz Desktop Computer. The day i got it, and got it all plugged in, it crashed. For the beginning it was fine, browsing internet, going on msn, surfing the web, etc. all of a sudden it freezes on me, the mouse works and so does the keyboard. however the screen wont let me do anything, therefore i had to manually shut off. I figured the problem was registry corruption. I tried reg-cure and was not able to run it for my computer had a Vista 64bit premium home edition. So i used CCleaner and all worked well. After a while, my computer freezes again, this time i left it idle, and it was in screen saver mode. When i moved my mouse to return to my desktop, the screen freezes and this time so does the mouse. After waiting a bit, i got the blue screen of death. So i turned it off again, and all.. To make a long story short, My computer keeps on freezing for no reason during web-browsing/doing nothing/screen saver/gaming/ etc. Occasionally i would get the blue screen of death, Sometimes from the freeze or for no reason. I have tried Registry clean up, and it still happens. Any tips from people who keep they’re Vista from crashing would help.
I dont believe its any virus or spyware.

Running a Registry cleaner?

August 23, 2009

Hi my desktop computer has just popped up the windows blue screen error. I have tried restarting the computer numerous times to no avail. I have been told to run a registry cleaner to help fix this problem. How do i run a registry cleaner on a computer that has the blue screen error that never goes away? We even tried booting from the windows xp disk but that didn’t work at all, the disk did not even load up.
