Image transfer-what cable?

arcadia2402

Quick question, have old pc(Tiny bought 2001) with photos galore stored in it. Have upgraded to new laptop, but been trying to copy photos onto memory stick and transfer, to no avail. Old pc used kodak to view photographs if thats any clue and can I get some sort of networking cable for faster data transfer?
yours hopefully

You can buy an ethernet crossover cable (as long as your old PC has ethernet port of course).
Why can't you transfer by using USB memory stick?

It does have an ethernet point and I have an ethernet cable, just plug that into laptop then?
cant seem to copy or transfer photographs from pc to laptop as all photographs saved as kodak prints and I cannot copy any to memory stick.

If you cant transfer using a mem stick, then using a network cable wont solve your problems.

You need to work out what file format these images are in. I would hope they are jpgs, the most popular file format on the planet. It may be that this kodak program is saving the files in a different format or in a strange location. You need to find the location of the files and copy them. It doesnt matter if this is via usb stick, network cable, or burnt to CD.

No, for PC direct to laptop networking you need a crossover cable, not a patch cable.
