XP has the 'Files and Settings Transfer Wizard'. IDK if Vista does, but if it does that's one easy and free method. -
using a usb cable.Comment

Some of the USB flash or jump drives are big enough to hold over 2, 3, or more GB of files, fast, and they are much cheaper nowadays too (just around $15.00 on sale). You can use them to transfer files from one PC to another and delete the files if you don't need them any more

If you have network ports in both PC's, use a crossover network cable. Much simpler that way.
The new PC might even have an autodetect network port, in that case a straight cable also might work.Comment

i was looking on mono price for cables is that where i buy them the cable i am looking for is a laplink or null modem cable right? i found the transfer wizard seems like that will work i just need to find the right cable now. through dell when i bought my computer i bought a belkin easy transfer cable it comes with software it was 39 dollars maybe its a good deal i don't know but if i can get a cable for 3 dollars and use the network transfer wizard then i could get the software purchase off my order and safe about 40 bucks.Comment
