Belkin Easy Transfer Cable (Windows Easy Transfer)
Hi,
I'm trying to get the Belkin Easy Transfer Cable installed on my old Windows XP sp2 machine (Inspiron 8200) so I can migrate files to my new Vista machine.
The Cable is recognized but there appears to be a problem with the driver installation (yellow exclamation point on the cable icon under Device Manager). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver but this has not fixed the problem and there is no newer driver available.
I talked with Belkin and they said it's a Microsoft problem and most likely a problem with my registry.
Any suggestions or did I waste my money on this "Easy" cable? Could it be that the driver is getting installed in the wrong location?
Thanks,
-P

Here is how to install software or drivers on Vista that are for XP
Right click on the setup.exe file for the software tou are trying to install and select the compatibility Tab
Tick the "run this file in compatibility mode" box and then select XP in the drop down box, hit OK
Now double click this setup.exe file to execute the install process, hopefully all will go well and install the drivers you need.
Good luck.
