Re: Files ans Settings Transfer Wizard

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Just took care of problem I have been dealing with for 2 weeks... It was so
simple it is not even funny. It just hit me after I posted this msg. When I
Backed up with FAST I was running SP2. When I re-installed I had not upgraded
yet. Funny how I could not find that info anywhere. But anyway after updating
to SP2 and rebooting, I ran ir and everything is transfering just fine. Did
not know there was a difference between the two. Hopefully this will help
others. <YvesDoucet> Is this your case? very well could be..
