Compatability Program that "tricks" the two sytems into believing they're related,anyone know anything of it?

I had the same problem and I bought a flash drive and downloaded what files I wanted to transfer from the old puter and just uploaded to the new puter. Worked for me. Flash drives are not expencive now.
