i would download a new copy of mod tools onto the new computer, make sure it actually works, and then transfer the files via either a USB stick(if you have one) OR Mediafire.

What I do is this:

Install CoDWaW on new PC and patch to 1.7 if not Steam release
Install fresh modtools from downloaded zip files
Copy/paste Activision folder from old PC to new PC, overwriting all files when asked (you will need a USB stick, external HDD, or shared LAN network folder etc to do this. LAN folders work extremely well, I use them for file transfer all the time.)

Done. Don't just copy the Activision folder without doing the install, otherwise you will be missing the registry entries. If you feel brave you could try skipping the installation and using regedit's import/export option to transfer your codwaw reg entires. I've succeeded with that before as well.
