Best Games and Hardware Reviews

Erica in the Show Me State asked:


Our computer was fried in an electrical storm. Fortunately I have a backup of our files and settings on an external hard drive (this was made using Windows XP Professional). All I really care about is restoring our files to a different computer. My choices are: using my husband’s work computer, which also runs Windows XP Pro or use our soon-coming new computer which will have Windows Vista Home Premium.
Is it possible to open the .bkp file in our external hard drive using my husband’s computer and restoring just the files (I don’t want to overwrite his work stuff)? Or will everything be restored? Is it possible to do this on our new computer with Vista, even though the backup was made using XP?
Help!
To clarify:
When I made the backup, I used XP’s backup utility and selected “Files and settings.”

New computer, never been switched on. Has come with Vista installed which I would like to take off and replace with XP. What would be the procedure? Is there any way to do it without registering the copy of Vista? I’m not computer illiterate - I’ve just never done this before! Thanks!

It’s The Sims Complete Collection PC game! How do you get the data of the game from your computer and save it on a blank CD/disc? I have a new computer so I want to be able to play with what i saved on the other computer. I’m getting a Laptop or Notebook and whatever, can you transfer the games stuff/data on to the laptop?

I have recently bought a new computer, windows Vista, and now am trying to learn things. Im not computer illterate, but Im not computer savy either. I need a book, where things are explained well, and SIMPLE, but not something for dummies, I do know the basics. I see that amazon has several, and am just curious what is the best, most understanding book out there to help me with all the things vista can offer to someone who understands how to use it.

Lloyd G asked:


I just bought a new computer and it came with windows vista. I am hesitant to load the older version of adobe photoshop from my old computer. I have heard many stories about vista issues, and I don’t want to chance having issues to get an older version to load, and would like to load a version that works within vista.
