Today I was using the Windows Transfer Wizard to migrate someone’s old laptop data to their new laptop. This worked perfectly for me the week before on a different system, YET now I got the following error: “The location you specified does not contain stored information. Please enter a valid folder path into the edit box.”. The thing is, that I did enter a valid folder. After much looking (well 5 minutes on google) I found the answer at this site dealing with corrupt Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (F.A.S.T) image
In my case the files were not corrupt. What had occurred was the new computer had had all the windows critical updates applied, but there was an update for the Transfer Wizard that was not critical, and it had not been applied.
One quick visit to Update for Windows XP (KB896344) and my migwiz.exe was at V5.1.2600.2665 on both machines.
Problem fixed.

I just saw a youtube video over on Slice of Scifi today. It has been around on youtube for a while, but still it is something funny for all Trek and Monty Python fans. Without further ado:
Do you play World of Warcraft? Do you play on a Mac? Do you want to listen to music from the game on your iPod? Jean-François has the solution over at his blog.MPQ Extractor 1.0!
Update: Jean-François has suggested that it is easier to use MPQFS. I haven’t test this however.
Looks like I’m officially “on tha interwebs”. I just got hit with my first comment spam. 50 comments in one hit from many IP’s and all about drug/pornography/medicine.
