greetings all,
....i have been at this a few *&%&*&^^!! days now and almost giving up...i need to transfer files, etc from one laptop to a new laptop....both are running xp pro......net cards, etc
**i do NOT want to do this by using a flash drive or burning to disc**
....i have a cross-over cable and have used my brothers "alohabob" program to do this task, HOWEVER, it starts the process and then, i get a momentary blue screen and the computer reboots and i have to start the process all over again...i am not looking to troubleshoot this problem with this particular program so, i am DONE with that program.....
....i have done some reading about changing some protocol in the settings in the computer but, when i tried that years ago, i f-ed up my computer and had to start all over. so, i am NOT willing to do that as you can imagine nor am i wanting to go through a router.
....so, now that i laid the foundation for my question, **what i am looking for is the name of a few "self-configuring" file transfer programs (NOT cisco network pro or any ftp or web based) that i can utilize my cross-over cables to effectuate this arduous and irritating task. any help would be appreciated!...THANKS!
