I had a bunch of files from my old computer that I encrypted onto a portable hard drive. That computer crashed so I went out and bought a new computer. Now it wont let me decrypt them. I was using windows XP before and now Im using windows vista.So when Itry to hit the decrypt button it tells me that there are no encrypted files. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi meistromm, have you backed up encryption certificate on the Windows XP computer? If so, you can import them and decrypt the files. If not, I'm afraid weare not able to recover them.Meanwhile, the following KB article can be helpful: Error message when you try to open an EFS-encrypted file in Windows XP or in Windows Server 2003 after the file has been opened in Windows Vista: "Access is denied" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939391
