registry info corrupt/missing
I used Windows Easy Transfer Companion to transfer programs from my old
laptop (Windows XP) to the new one (Vista). Most programs were transferred. But for a couple, the error message 'Registry info missing or corrupt. Please reinstall.' pops up. I've done uninstalled and put the program back, but it doesn't help. What else can I try? On XP, the program works without any such issues. |

You can copy the whole drive, called ghosting, to another drive but not other wise. -- Ian |

Re: registry info corrupt/missing
Thanks for your reply Ian. Actually, I tried to transfer the whole drive as
you mentioned. All the programs in the C: drive were transferred, and only 2 of them are giving me the registry error message.

Hi Amy,
The tool isn't perfect, and some programs simply cannot be transferred. Those that cannot will need to be reinstalled from the original installation media. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "amy" <amy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:59EF5578-6B7C-4F8A-8815-54AA59423751@microsoft.com... > Thanks for your reply Ian.

Re: registry info corrupt/missing
And, not all programs that run in XP will install or run in Vista. Check to
see if they are Vista compatible.
