I have 2 computers in my house. On of the computers, I have internet and the other one doesn't. On the one I have internet for, my disk drive doesn't work. I want 2 install a web cam on this computer but I can't because I have 2 download the software. Do you think if I download the information on my other computer, that I can transfer the files to the computer with the internet? Could I use a floppy disk or a flash drive?

You can use a flash or thumb drive to do what you want or just connect the other computer to your internet service.  Does your internet service come with a router to allow connection sharing?  You can get one and connect the other computer to it and run both on same connection.  Not as hard as it sounds.

External hard drives typically connect via USB or Firewire, so just make sure your computer has the appropriate port to connect through.  There is no software needed (unless it's some crazy cheap poor excuse for a hard drive); They'll usually just show up as a new drive letter in your Control Panel as soon as you plug it in.  The data transfer rate and speed are irrelevant as far as compatibility goes, but obviously the faster it is, the more convenient it is for you (and probably the higher the price will be).

You can not simply copy across programs. You need to get the install discs for the programs and install them on your new computer. You can copy across the files, but without the programs installed you will be unable to open them.

of corse you can do this , it's very simple,\n\ntry to copy the desired folder on a usb flash drive for example , \nif you don't have one, you surely have the bluetooth technology on your laptop, put your two laptops closely in one room and turn this technology on , file transfer is then a piece of cake ,,\nfinally if you can't move any of your laptops , you can create a LAN network between them using windows-xp installation CD.

I'm not sure why you object to using a network cable.  That would be the fastest and easiest.  \n\nYou could also save to a USB flash drive and load on laptop.  Or burn to a DVD/CD and read on laptop.

You can use the internet sharing wizard in windows if those two computers are connected. If you have a wirelless card for pcmcia and the laptop is not connected to your desktop you need to buy a new one for your desktop pc.

setup a peer to peer network, between the two computers using a crossover cable. use window back up to back up the file that you want. Then transfer that file to the remote computer. Now if what you are trying to do is copy the entire operating system over reformat and then copy it back over, sorry that wont work. it wont back up every file that is required for windows to operate correctly, and even after you transfer everything back window will not start up again.

I dont think thats possible unless you do it the hard way.\n\nYou need to go to http://www.xdrive.com and you need to move all your files and data to their free 5 GIG file hosting site.\n\nThen you need to use the other computer to download them back into your computer. If you use a modem, your IP addresses are not static and they are always changing so there is no way to network the computers and also, since they both need to dialup, you cant dialup both computers at the same time.\n\nEven if you do connect the two computers together, you will still need to purchase additional equipment to get them to share files and the transfer rate would be the same as downloading it from the internet.\n\nI think you should just install a file sharing program on both computers and just transfer it to each other.

You will need software for the drives.  I suggest getting a dvd/cd writer external drive that comes with software.. then you can transfer from one puter to another with no problem..

You need a router.  Any low end router like at Radio Shack will work for you.  Just plug each computer into a LAN port on the router and the WAN port on the router to the ADSL bridge (modem).  You shouldn't even need any setup to share the internet connection.  To transfer files, you'll have to enable Windows File Sharing on each computer.  You'll have the best luck if you disable the firewall on each computer.  Don't worry, the router has a firewall.  Once you've enabled Windows file sharing, put the files you want to copy in the shared folder on the one computer and it will be accessible from each computer.

If you have the original installation CD, you can install it on your second computer.  If you don't have the original installation CD, there isn't a way to transfer the Word program to your laptop.

First, get a real computer.......lol\nSecond, I would get the linksys NSLU2.\nThen add a couple of USB2.0 hard-drives and you're good to go.

When you download files it could send to a specific place. If I have no idea where a file went, such as .swf (a flash file) I use the search function to bring everything up with a swf extenstion.  I then move it to "my documents."

There is a couple of ways to go.  Both require buying a device.  If you want to use memory cards, you can get a USB reader.  if the reader is 2.0, they are backwards compatible.  just make sure the device had drivers if the old computer has Win 98/ME.  Also, you need to see if your notebook has the same type of memory card as does the reader or the computer.  If not, you could always move between the two.  Both machines will see the drive as a "removable disk or hard drive."  The other option is buying an external usb burner.  Same thing applies, there need to be drivers for your device.  Cd's are less expensive and if you want to listen to them on the go you would already have them set up.  The drawback is you could go through a lot.  Memory cards are more expensive but you can reuse them more often.

Do you have a CD-rom burner?\n\nYou can just burn all your files to a CD and then use it as a data CD. Then you can just slide the CD into the new computer and copy the files from it. \n\nOr you can just put all your files into a file hosting website like http://www.xdrive.com and you can use their file hosting server to upload all your files from your old computer. Then on your new computer, you will need to get internet connection again, and then you can just download them back.\n\nOr you can even try and setup a network connection between the two computers and just transfer the files over.\n\nContact me through my profile if you need step by step help, but I will need more information from you as well.
