file transfer

When I try to upload files; either in Yahoo, gmail, box and others. All I get is a spinning wheel and nothing happens. What do I need to do? I've gone to my none W8 systems and everything works.

We are trying to transfer files from an older computer running Windows XP Pro, 32 bit, to a new one using Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. We are using Easy Transfer and an Inland Datalink USB cable, which was recommended by the computer store. We installed onto the XP computer what we believe is the...

On one of my laptops, the main "user profile" apparently got corrupted. When I click on a folder, instead of using Windows explorer to show the folder, it opens up a program. I know it's the user profile, and not the computer itself, as I created a second user profile for testing, and that one...

I had this wonderful script that I got from someplace (can't recall) that enabled or disabled lan connections in windows xp. I used it to turn the wireless card on/off as the card made clicking noises during recording/playback of music files. I have just performed a clean install of windows 7...

I don't understand this at all. Why did they take away this VERY important function? You can no longer drag and drop pictures to and from dropbox to a folder on your computer! This is so aggravating that I feel like throwing my computer in the trash. I cannot use skydrive. It won't link to it...

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I have 4 network external drives attached to my router via 2 Cisco NSLU2 servers. The drives connect when I boot the PC but after a while (it seems random) the drives just disconnect. I can click on my computer and bring the drives back one at a time. This is...

What are good reliable free ftp's for win 7. The only one I found that works for me is "classic ftp". Classic FTP Free - CNET Download.com. Most of the software I use is for win XP (my old system). Now I am finding it difficult to replace (32 bit with 64 bit) the programs that will work on win...

I have two WD External Hard Drives and I can't copy some things to them. I don't think it's my hard drive because I can copy 70 GB of pictures with no problem but when I try and copy about 40 GB of DVD programs I get an error message. I have an attachment.

Assume I created a bootable USB stick with some additional software on it. Now I want to backup the whole stuff into an archive file on my hard disc. If I would have an CD/DVD I could create a well known ISO file for it which contains everything. How do I do this for an USB stick? If I just...

1. Is there a difference between a clean and custom installation? When considering a OS change from Vista 32 to Win 7/64 bit, which process should I be using? Or are the words clean/custom install more or less semantics and mean the same thing? 2. I have been looking at purchasing Win 7 Pro...

frequently, when I try to download a file from a site I have to make 2 attempts. The first time fails due to "Insufficient Permissions". The next attempt downloads fine. It seems it mostly occurs on the first download after a fresh boot.

High, long time windows user, new to the forum. I'm hopping to catch some windows gurus for this. So, my girlfriends HDD bit the bullet a week ago and corrupted the disk formating. Windows reads it as an empty disk ready to format. That being said, I was able to recover the entire drive with a...

I got all my windows mail files transferred to my new pc with Windows 8. Since they are in Vista Windows mail format I cannot open them. There does not seem to be an app for this. Any ideas on what I can use to view the contents?

New W7 machine, just trying to copy files from old XP machine via a WD Passport drive. I have turned off User Account Control, but that doesn't help. I have wasted about 2 hours on this issue so far, reading many, many posts that do not solve it. Have tried changing owner of files to my...

Hi everyone. For the last few days, my computer has been getting the dreaded multiple BSODs a little after I initiate file transfer over network. It happens both with wireless and wired connections. I have done memory scan, the hardware scans mentioned in this forum but everything appears to be...

OK following on from my other thread "Catastrophe" I have a few more questions. I have read many threads on re-creating an account which, in nearly all cases, detailed the following; 1. Create a new account in the normal manner. 2. Login with the new account to create the files. 3. Copy...

So I have just built a new computer and Installed Win8. The motherboard, processor, and system drive are all brand new Intel stuff; the media drive is a new Seagate. Programs get up and running just fine, but I have transferred my files over from my old xp machine, and Win Explorer is very slow...

I was playing to set a Windows 8 system up to use a 32 GB SSD as a system cache using the Intel Smart Response Technology, where you enable acceleration from within the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility. It seems transfer rates on files being transferred internally dropped significantly...
