My old computer crashed with all my sounds on it.Now I am trying to download stuff to this one.When I try to download,I right click on the file but "save target as" does not highlight.Any other way to transfer music or sounds?Yea I am a computer moron!Thanks for any ideas.

Can you open the two harddrives in seperate windows, then drag and drop?

I'll try that.

No luck,just keeps moving the slide bar.

Hmmmmm.....not sure. Was it the computer or the harddrive that crashed?

strange you can't download. Maybe it's a setting? Try looking into your internet security settings by clicking on Tools up top, then Internet Options, then security and see if the setting is too high...maybe it is your Firewall program as well, go in and make sure it is not disallowing downloads.

If all else fails and you get desparate, there is a work around...you can record the sounds. Here is the URL for a freeware program I use from Download.com and it's easy and awesome. It will record any sound playing on your computer. You can save as a WAV file or an MP3 file.

My MP3 at Download.com

play with various settings for quality of recording. The higher the bitrate, the larger the file so your decision. Usually 128K is the standard for music and 56K for voice, but it's really up to the user.
