Solved! Transfers

[Buzzbee]

How do I transfer my picture file from my desktop(XP) to my laptop(windows 7) I tried to transfer the whole picture file to a DVD and it keeps telling me windows had a problem and cancels. I want to hook my Laptop to the desktop and just transfer the file from one to the other. Is this something that can be done? I have USB to USB cables. Sorry so lengthy.

You can transfer over network not by just plugging in a USB between the two! You can use a portable usb device (flash drive) as well.

Do you already have a home network (PC to router and Laptop to wireless router) setup?

How large was that 'picture file'?
Right click and choose properties to check the size.
