I tried out Vista Ultimate 64bit for a month and got whipped by driver issues. I installed Vista Ultimate 32bit on a 2nd partition and tried using Windows Easy Transfer to transfer files and settings from the 64bit installation and pick them up in the 32bit installaion. This is the error I get every time I try to complete the transfer: "The store you selected was saved on a 64bit machine. Windows Easy Transfer cannot apply the data." Is there a way to use WET to transfer files from a Vista-64bit installation? If not WET, is there another utility? |

Hi, Are you running the tool from within the 64-bit installation? You can't run it from another installation and simply point to the target install, you must be booted into the installation you want to save the files and settings from. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "RJ" <RJ@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:162DE1BB-7763-444E-8574-59EBE3B68129@microsoft.com... >I tried out Vista Ultimate 64bit for a month and got whipped by driver > issues.

64 to 32 is the one way that is not supported. Sorry. All the other possibilities work, of course.
