From Windows XP to Vista?
So far it has been. I have my logging software, Webmastering software, and Echlolink all transferred over and working.
The only problem I have so far is with Thunderbird. I have my old hard drive set up as an external hard drive on the new computer. I know where my old Thunderbird e-mails reside on the old hard drive; and I moved them to my Thunderbird profiles in Vista - but it doesn't seem to recognize them.
I guess I will have to do a bit more investigating to get this cleared up. There are a bunch of old saved e-mails that I would hate to lose. Although, if it came to that, it would not be the end of the world.
What's nice about the new computer, is that it's like starting with a clean slate. All brand new without the bugs and problems of the old one.
Bad thing is, I discovered that my old Lexmark printer isn't supported for Vista. I've checked the Lexmark Website and there are drivers for XP and Windows9X - but nothing for Vista.
Looks like a trip to Target or Walmart will be in order.

Hello Larry, that's my fear too that software isn't compatible with Vista. Oh no, and now a cup of coffee falls on my keyboard. I have to clean up the mess. 73, Paul
