|Bunghole| Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 OK, I have a new machine that's pretty clean, I'm getting ready to give it a better HD monitor and surround sound, all of which I already have, I just need to move the tower downstairs and hook everything up, and I got to thinking... ...my old PC has my Limewire music on it, and there are a lot of songs I'd rather not download again. In the hope of saving time, I ask...can I just install Limewire on this PC and import the old music files into the Vista machine from the XP one? I have a thumbdrive (thinking it's maybe not big enough) and a Seagate extrenal drive. Can I move the "my music" or whatever the file is called from Limewire on the old machine to the new one flawlessly? I believe that I can, and could probably figure it out by trial and error, but I'm looking for someone with a definite answer, preferably someone that lives in or near Las Vegas...

|Bunghole| Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I disabled the UAC but Vista keeps "making me secure" by asking a lot of fucking questions! "Are you SURE you want to do this?" . "Unknown publisher!", "Your security settings are making my operating system's butt chafe" and so forth. What's the fix for this? Apparently I have only partially resolved this problem. Otherwise Vista 64-bit is great. I LOVE watching the retro clock in the upper-right corner of the screen. Alternately, here's a great rock band video about heroin use: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
