I am looking for a free solution for a program and settings transfer. So far I have found that PickMeApp and WETC are the only free solutions for programs transfer.

Any other solutions ?

This is not a problem. Simply change the language in the computer settings for both computers and the transfer program works fine. Then change the language back afterwards. I have done it and there is no problem

Hi. I've downloaded the Easy Transfer Companion and got the message: Windows Easy Transfer Companion (Beta) does not support this operating system language. I've changed it for the Vista machine and thought i had for the XP machine. I rebooted it, but still get the message. Any suggestions. I have XP SP2.

David,

I am exploring replacing my current computer, but that will entail a change to Vista from XP. Your site came up via Google with the link to the MS KB article on transferring programs, which is very important as I don't want to re-install every last program.

Thank you for the help with the link!
