Transfering files from Vista to XP

I want to transfer files from Vista to an older machine using XP. How do I
do that? Now the Vista machine will not read a CD used to taransfer the
file. Also, how do you go from XP to Vista?

There are many possibilities. You could set up a network between
them. You could copy the files to CD-R or DVD-R or flash drive and
then walk them from one computer to the other. You could upload the
files to an external server via FTP, then download them to the
other, etc.

What do you mean by that? What does "go from" mean?

Please try to stay with your original posting. .you notice you received the
same questions in reply to the same posting.
If you had followed and answered your previous posting you would have had an
answer by now.

How was the file burned to the CD...is it a CDRW and if it is what program
did you use to burn the file.
What is the file?? what is its extension?? Do you have the same program on
BOTH machines.

I have a 4mb memory stick that I use to transfer files between 4
computer...2 are XP and 2 are Vista.
The program that created the file is installed on all 4 computers.
At home I have a small network setup that I use to transfer files from a
Vista system to another Vista system or to a XP system.

how do you go from XP to Vista?
If you mean how to change XP into Vista then you would need to go out and
buy an upgrade edition of Vista
and install it on your system.. like any other operating system.
OR buy a Retail Version of any flavor of Vista(except Basic) and using the
DVD install it on your system, letting it format your hard drive and install
new. This will result in the loss of every file on your HD...so be sure to
back up your saved work and be sure to have the CD's for every program
that you wish to reinstall. As well as the drivers for every piece of
Hardware on your system.
Of course 1st you need to verify that your system is capable of running
Vista

Aren't Computers fun!!

I get the feeling we will never hear from this guy again. He obviously
has no idea how to read or reply to a newsgroup.
