Default Re: file transfer wizard

I had the same problem, and I got a USB flash drive. Using it in the new
computer was OK. But when I went to the old one (windows 98) the File
Transfer Wizard coud not complete "the collection". I got a screen from the
wizard, with a message saying that "an error occurred while the wizard was
starting".
Anybody, please?
