The short answer is no. Microsoft has a built in migration tool in XP pro and Vista (I don't know which versions of Vista) that will allow you to transfer files and settings from one computer to another but this does not allow you to transfer your OS and programs (or just programs). Now, if you had two identical systems and wanted to transfer everything from one to another, you could manage this by using a program like Acronis True Image.

Short from having two identical systems, you could always hack the registry (and risk ruining your computer) and manually patch in each program and the OS to match your hardware, but if you knew how to do that you wouldn't be asking this question here :) j razz Sources: Acronis True Image .

1 You can copy all the data on the drive to an external drive and access it from a USB port with the right cable adaptor but don't expect the software to run on that external drive for you. The software is linked to the operating system, and more likely than not it will not function from that external drive when plugged in to a different PC. All you need to do is buy an external hard drive.It will come with a USB cable.

You can plug that in to the old PC, copy all the data you want on to it, then unplug it and plug it in to your new PC...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
