anyone out there have any clue as to how i can do this?:

the hardware and OS
1. toshiba laptop running win98
2. sony viao running winME
3. 2 pcmcia ethernet cards
4. crossover cable

the problem
1. realestate client has all her programs and files on the win98 laptop (old machine)
2. client wants her stuff (programs and data) transferred to the winME machine.
3. i have all the data copied via the network but have no desire to edit the registry and seek out required DLL's any longer to make her junk work.

any suggestions out there in tech land for doing this a bit more easily? (please no answers involving "format winME and install win2K or XP")
