If your old computer has USB you should be able to hook them up and use the Windows files and settings transfer wizard thing. I don't know anything about Vista, if that's what the new one has, but in XP you can find that under programs--accessories--system tools. I couldn't make it work with my old computer when I got this one because my old one was a little too old and didn't have USB, but it might be a simple way to go for you.
