clairetoo - 15/5/08 at 06:27 PM

Can any one tell me - in a way that an idiot would understand - how to get a program from one computer to another ?
I have down-loaded `megalog viewer` onto my PC but I have to be able to use it on my laptop - both computers have DVD drives but I dont have even the slightest clue how do do what I need to do

Somewhere - but no idea how to use that either

If it's an installed program you may not be able to as they tend to link into the operating system
and it's hard to get all the bits across to make it work an another PC.
By far the best if to get the original installation disk and load again.

you say you down loaded the program, cant you just plug your lappy into internet and download ?

If I could work out how to find the internet settings I would allready have done that - computers are not something I know anything about

It sounds.................AWESOME (when the revs are up ) - but it sounds like a bag of spanners ticking over......... coughing and spluttering

When you downloaded megalog viewer, it would have saved the program somewhere like on your desktop.

you would then have double clicked it to install it.

You can transfer the file (the one you downloaded) to the second pc using the USB memory stick.

If you would like to know how to do this I would be happy to talk you through this on the phone - just U2U me.

Cheers

That was just enough information to do the job - I guessed that what I had to do was download to the `removable storage device` and BINGO
Then repeat the process with Java cuz it wasnt installed on the laotop - and now I have megalogviewer working on my laptop

All I have to now is work out how to use it
