You can dual boot XP and Vista. Install Vista on a seperate partition.

Work on that grammar. ;)

Buy a new Vista computer. I think Vista is a great operating system. If you have a Windows XP installation disk, you can install XP on a seperate hard drive partition - on your new computer. Reply to this thread if you need instructions on creating a new partition.

Your games may be incompatible with Vista. Which games do you own? Are these games backed up on a disk?

the only way is to be on a wireless network, drag the files you want on the new compter into the shared folder afer creating a network which is very easy on vista.

...or just toss the hard drive from the old computer into the new computer as a slave drive and drag the files to the new drive that way. it'll be much faster.

You probably don't understand most of the jargon these guys are saying, so I'll try and explain a few things:

From what i'm reading you are thinking of buying a new "Vista" computer, but you don't want to lose the files on your original "XP" computer.

If you are buying a new "Vista" computer the files on your current "XP" computer can be transferred to the new one, or just kept on your original one and accessed seperately.

I would like to know what your computer is aswell, to find this out:

-Find "My Computer" and Right Click on it ~ Usually on the desktop
-Select Properties
-Then your basic computer specifications are written here.
