Easy transfer not so easy

I can run the transfer without any issue. But it doesn't load my files into
my new Vista profile. Instead my entire XP user profile is brought in as a
second account. I just want to bring in my pictures, music, documents, etc.
They show in the 'old' profile that loaded on Vista, but not the new profile
where I wanted them. I even had the transfer setting checked just for my
documents. Not working. Any help would be really, really appreciated!

Hi Beth,

Not sure why that happened, but since it did why don't you just simply move
them from the "old" user account to your new one?
