Windows Easy transfer "The Migration Failed" on Windows XP, any help?

Alright, I have a Windows Vista Home Basic computer, I also have a Windows XP SP3 computer.

Now, since I got this new computer, I wanted to transfer everything from my old computer (Windows XP computer) to my new one (Windows Vista).

But when I installed and ran the program that my Vista computer told me to install on my XP computer to help with the transfer (Windows Easy Transfer), it came up with a dialog box that started out saying "The Migration Failed: Windows Easy Transfer will now be canceled" and when I click OK, it says "Closing Windows Easy Transfer." and that is really the only way to get my files over to my new computer. I have a LOT of files on my old computer that need to get transferred to this one and I REALLY don't want to do it the old way because I know if I do thnI will forget like half of the files that are on my old computer.

Can someone help with this problem???

Thanks!
