Success! Thank you everyone

I would love to get a step by step for the native transfer script in 2.66 if it isn't too much trouble. Obviously when you have time and I'm sure others could use it as well. My computer is pretty solid so I'm guessing it's a freak crash and will try this again. I had played around with some modifiers and perhaps forgot to delete one, so I'll check that as well. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your response! I will try it again, the mesh is low poly so perhaps it's a glitch. I was hesitant to post about it, but all of you have been a great help, it's much appreciated. *I'm editing this response to add that the faces are currently at 214 which I believe to be low poly but I thought I better post just in case I'm wrong about that. I have a subsurf modifer on it, could that create a problem once I apply it? I was also contemplating adding solidify to it to create an inside to the dress.

I successfully downloaded blender 2.65. I installed the script and followed Gaia's directions to copy bone weights. No more flashing screen. Now after changing the interpolation to 2 and clicking on "only named bones" and "copy empty groups" and finally "copy bone weights", it's still processing. Everyone says it takes a very long time...but can I ask how long does it take on average? 2 hours long? Mine has been going for that long and I'm wondering if that's normal. I'm worried I may have made a mistake in the steps up to copying bone weights and am hoping someone can tell me if I'm doing it right or not. In Shasekayi's video: using 2.49 she shows you how to parent the shirt she creates to the armature (control p) and then tells you to not create groups. In blender 2.65 it appears to be a bit different and I'm not sure what to choose. I chose "Armature Deform ->With Empty Groups" as a guess. Sample snapshots using a simple shape below... 2.49 2.65

Thank you so much! I only used 2.49 so that I could match up what was in the video, learn, and not miss a step, otherwise I get confused as I'm still learning my way around blender. I've been working in 2.66 otherwise. That said, let me download 2.65 and try again. I've been getting around great with the actual creation of the meshes in blender, but it's the rigging and such that I've had trouble with. Most tutorials are in older version and I can't always find the new way to do things even after consulting blender cookie and books. Cross your fingers, I will update everyone on the results.

I've been learning to make mesh and I finally attempted to rig my clothing last night, but ran into the same problem on two different computers. When I'm at minute 3 on this great video from Shasekayi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0aSLtzeVE ... it has me choose: Object -> Scripts Bone Weight Copy - but when I do this instead of copying the weights from the avatar to my dress... the screen flashes an outline around the mesh and the avatar off and on and also flashes the link and materials/mesh/multries and modifiers tabs off and on constantly. It never shows progress on the header bar either. I left it for several hours wondering if it would finish processing but it didn't, so I guess it is getting stuck or crashing on me. I'll also note that this is in blender 2.49. Is this a RAM issue possibly? I was only running blender and usually I can run so many other heavy programs I can't imagine that would be the problem, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign not to mention SL all at once. Anyhow, any tips, thoughts or help is appreciated! Last thing: If someone can tell me how to do the scripts bone weight copying in 2.66 I would love you forever and spoil you with adoration and freebies.
