Need help with Windows Easy Transfer

Hello,

I used Windows Easy Transfer years ago and it worked fine. I recently acquired another comuter (both of them running Windows 7 Ultimate) and I cannot use WET. No matter what, I set it up to transfer, the files appear on the new computer, but when I click transfer I get the error message that it cannot connect to my domain, and the transfer can't be done.

So, I thought I would try the data transfer cable route, by-passing the net. Of course, I couldn't find mine, so I had to buy a new one online and wait for it to come. I then hooked up both computers to try again.WET ignores the cable and will only try thenet method. If doesn't even offer me the choice between net, data cable, or USB anymore. It just goes straight to the net, and gives me the same error message.

Now, I am not savvy to net stuff. I am online wirelessly, no problem. I have a new router ID and password from AT&T, but WET wouldn't accept that either. I don't know about domains. I did go online, and it said the domain was your internet service provider. I went to mine (AT&T) and spoke with their "TECH" who had no idea what a domain was, and told me to just type in AT&T Uverse in the domain name box. I did. Nothing. He did say they had a DNS number but it was too long to give to me.

So I am dead in the water. I have searched my computer and cannot find a domain name. I can find the section that says I can join a domain, but it needs my domain name, which I have no idea about.

Help, please!

Thanks in advance,

Dustman

Hello, tookeri and strollin,

Thanks for the response. I don't know where that 32 bit is coming from I have 3 identical Dell XPS 8000 desktop computers, all 64 bit, all upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate.

Hello, again,

I went to my profile and updated it. It looks like I didn't see where it said to choose 32 bit or 64 bit. I have always had 64 bit.Anyway, I think I hae everything fixed now.
