How can you transfer saved Rosetta Stone files to another computer to use?

Your best bet is to reinstall RS on the other machine and transfer only the saved files, via a flash drive, CD, network or any other file transfer mechanism. You’re not likely to be able to transfer RS, or any other decent-sized program, for two reasons. First, it’s very difficult to find all the visible pieces of complex software applications. They’re sometimes in directories other than the application’s main one (the C:\Windows directory, for instance). Sometimes they’re even dependent on other things already on the machine. Second, application installs often store critical bits of information in a huge system file called the Registry. It’s usually not possible to pull out all the pieces you need, and it’s impossible to copy the Registry from one machine to another without wrecking the second machine. Hope that helps.
