Hi , i've just bought this new new laptop. Yesterday i tried to transfer some photo's from my old laptop to this one, via a memory stick.. the files seemed to go into the stick ok, but when i opened the file on this laptop, the Album said " file empty" .. any ideas how i transfer them?
It's all a bit confusing to me ????
Any help would be greatly recieved.

You put the usb in and open up "computer" and it says "crossfire" for mine, but it might say something else.

A window usually pops up when you put the usb in anyway.

Try transferring the files again if this doesn't work.

Try zipping the files then putting them on the jump drive.

If not, try burning them on a cd or uploading them on photobucket or another file sharing site.

i've got the pics onto a cd, transfered them over to my new laptop, they come up fine, .. until i take the cd out, how can i keep them on my laptop, i want them in a file on my desktop for easy access.

also, on the cd among the pics, i had some vids, but they dont play , yet they will play on my old laptop
my old laptop was windows xp, this one is vista, does that make any difference?
I am such a dunce when it comes to these things!!:bawling: .. that avatar is how i feel when i cant do something on my computer , haha, i feel like crying:bawling::bawling:

For the Videos:

What media player are you using?

For the Pics:

Copy the content from your CD to the hard drive.
