I made a new computer and have been sending all my bitcoins to my old wallet address. Is there a way to access the bitcoins in that address without getting on the old computer? I am really frustrated and sent my whole first week's worth of bitcoins to that address and am trying to sell them to recover some of my initial investment. I am also now having weird problems with my 6970 and am on the verge of selling my stuff and quitting. ugh. annoying weekend. I would really appreciate any help.

You need your wallet.dat file from the other computer, else your out of luck, sorry :(

Do you have the old comp? Did you back it up using a service such as Carbonite? Is there any way you can access the files on your old computer? FTP, Telnet?

to be honest I dont remember what i used to set up that wallet account, it was right when I started, and I didnt really know what I was doing. I never downloaded the wallet software, but I think I got my wallet ID off a website, ugh frustrating week. I have 8 coins in that wallet, I hope I can access them somehow.

Just go back to whatever website it was and log in. Then send your coins back to yourself.

I'm assuming it was something like mybitcoin.com. This means there isn't a problem if you didn't download the official Bitcoin client, your coins are stored online. Just remember what site it was and login, then do whatever you want with them.
