I change my computer and i have to transfer my files from my old pc to this new laptop. My elder one has a Wireless MAXg PCI Adapter and USB doesn't work. How can i connect these two PCs?

You can use a router to connect them via a home network, however, the easiest solution for just transferring files "one time only" would be to buy a DVD burner from an outlet with a good return policy, install it on the old PC (if it is a desktop), copy the files & then copy them to the laptop with the DVD you created.
Then just return the burner for a refund.
If the older unit is a notebook you may want to purchase an external enclosure for the hard drive on the old laptop See this link for details :

This will easily allow you to connet the old hard drive to the new unit & afterwards you are left with a useful external drive for back purposes.

Get yourself a ten dollar crossover cable, the cable that most computers connect to the internet through, and hook them up. It shouldn't be that difficult and you should have no problems sharing or transferring the files.

are both of these computers hooked up to some kind of router? if so then they will be on the same network so you can transfer files that way.
