Ah, my instructions were for TL'08, I think that there would be still
some differences to TL'07, e.g. TEXMFCNF variable should be set AFAIR.
I would advice to just reinstall TL on the new PC.

In the upcoming release we should (hopefully) have much better support
for Vista and Win7. Pretest version is available now if you want to
try it:
