I am not familiar with the Easy Transfer Wizard and am not sure what
"compatibility mode" is. Is the Easy Transfer Wizard loaded on XP &
Vista machines or do you have to get it off the Microsoft site? What
programs are considered to be "older"? The oldest I probably have
that I really need are no older than 2000.
