THat's probably the easiest way for you for now... without reconfiguring your pc's to network.
windows 95, 98, 2000, XP & vista all talk to each other just fine... you just need to get the network settings right and set the security to match

Ha, sounds easier than getting my Xbox and PC to talk to each other through my router. My Xbox can connect to the net and so can my PC but they won't even recognise each other is there, despite anything I do! I hate networking.

Personally if I ever get a new PC I'll connect my old HD up and transfer documents and files that way, or transfer via an external HD. Other settings such as looks etc.. I'd do over as I like fresh starts on occasion!

Good luck though Phluff, hope you have no problems with the transfer!

Computer arrived yesterday.
Set it all up... I was so excited...
Plugged everything in.
Turned it on.

The phans all phired up, neon lights phlashed..

Phor about 1/2 a second.

That was it.... then..... nothing.

Called tech supprt, did a test on the power supply.
It's dead. Power supply is dead. Completely dead.

They are shipping me a new power supply on Monday. I should have it Wednesday or Thursday, then we have to swap it out.

Phluff is sad. Really Really Sad.
and... extremely phrustrated. =( =( =(

Well that sucks. D: I'm sorry. SMILEY

If it makes you fell any better, my last computer I built online, waited like a month, was really exited cracked open the box. I picked up the cpu. I noticed it was light... really, really light. So I got a screw driver and popped the case open, and there was nothing in, just an empty case. they forgot to put it together. LOL SMILEY

That wouldn't have been a 'lol' moment for me. More a 'computer take flight from window' moment.

Phluff... if the PSU was dead there's typically two things that cause that:

overload - the psu might have been switched to the wrong voltage or the local power surged and blew it. Make sure your screen runs from it's own power socket on the wall... don't chain it off the PC (when everything starts up the surge can trip fuses). If this is the case the motherboard may also be damaged from overvoltage. Get them to check it throughly.
damage - dropping in transit often cracks things that then blow when powered up. If this has hapened the HardDrives may be damaged. Run a full hardrive scan when you get themachine back and if the drives are dodgy get them to replace them. If you wait they won't accept liability.

It could be worse... you could have just spent a month waiting on an $8000 Rack-mount UPS (and had two major projects waiting because of the delay)... only to have it arrive with a huge hole in it thanks to a careless forklift driver. Honestly, how do you not notice a 4 inch hole with battery acid leaking out?!

Well good luck. I hope it all works out ok. SMILEY

Thanks Phi... great advice about the power. The other thing I'm upset about is that they are just sending me a new power supply, and WE have to do the labor to swap it out.... and phrom what I hear, it's not that easy. *sigh* So, I won't even know if the mother board and hard drives are ok. :/ In the mean time, the new computer is just sitting on the dining room table staring at me. =(

*just more worry and nail biting*

**TSR-KenC**

@phi - Yes. That's exactly how it should be.

Phluff - Ouch. Talk about anti-climactic. I also have a terrible history of having power supplies die out on me; but on a brand new system, that's even worse.

My deepest condolences. May your hardware swap be as painless as possible.
