I'm using Paper Port software. How do I transfer all my old scans on to my new
computer?

Find where Paper Port is storing the files, then copy them using one of the
following methods.

One way is to network the two computers and file transfer from old to new.
Requires a network card in each computer and a crossover cable. Or a home
network.

Another way is to remove the hard drive from the old computer and attach to
the new computer as a second hard drive. (requires hardware knowledge) Then
copy files from the old hard drive to the new hard drive.

There is software and cables to transfer files and settings from old
computer to new computer. Do a Google search. This method may use the serial
port or printer port to transfer files and is SLOW.

If you have a CD burner on the old computer, burn CDRs of the files and put
CD in new computer and copy to hard drive. This also will backup the
files.(You keep the CD's).

Golly Gee! You must be a rocket scientist. Or maybe I could even DCC!

Here's a couple of tips for you:

1. If you don't have any clue as to what the answer is then don't bother to
post.

2. If you lower your hand your finger will come out of your nose.

Ahkims,

Perhaps you didn't express your original query clearly, and I'm sure
that JA and most of us didn't know your knowledge of computers, but JA's
response to your question was reasonable. Your vehement trade might
persuade other respondents from helping you out and perhaps CSM1
wouldn't have responded if you had posted your above response first.
Perhaps you already knew CSM1's answers (which included CD-RW) and you
would like to flame him/her also. It is unlikely that you would you
have answered as above if your conversation was in person, especially in
a group?

Right, I thought the CD/RW response was the best idea too. And CSM1's
additions were also very good, but moving a hard disk requires a little
knowledge which may not be available to all, and a network may not be
available either. In fact, it could be that none of those standard methods
are available in the given situation. So the data move could be a very big
problem, regardless of attitude <g>

If CD/RW is not available, another method which probably is avaliable is to
simply email the files to yourself from the first computer, and then later
receive them on the second. I'm not at all sure about AOL, but I think they
allow up to 16 MB files from internal AOL users (but only 2 MB from the
internet), I think?

Other than speed and size, if using the same email account, the trick is to be
able to prevent receiving them on the first computer (disable checking email
before starting to send). Email would of course be unbearably slow unless
broadband. And if broadband, then the ethernet boards are surely available,
so it could instead just go direct, but a new network would require some
knowledge to configure (which email may bypass).

If CD/RW is available, it sure sounds best to me too.

Whoop de doo!

1. Sorry your CD burning software is inadequate ... mine has a feature that
allows complete imaging of directories. Even the 'manual' mode works!

2. 'least mine ain't brown.

LOL, but KF'd
 
So why would you expect courtesy from an arab?

Most Arabs are as pleasant as Greeks, Russians, English ...

There's always the 'one out' - as was my experience in Athens in 1962 ...
doesn't stop me from approaching others with an open mind even if the answer
is brief.
