What is the error?

 Hi there,
 
 We are using GnuGP 1.1.3 on a few PCs, all able to decrypt using 1 public
 key. I can use it on my PC, but a new user on a new PC is getting constant
 errors. I've installed the SW, imported the correct and only key, but
 still get the error. If I log in to the new PC, I get the same error.
 I've uninstalled the SW, removed all associated folders and files,
 installed the SW again, and still the same error. Any suggestions?
 
 Regards,
 Bronson Shadlock

I assume you mean Gpg4win 1.1.3 which includes a relative new GnuPG version.

Please explain what error you get.  What operating system do you use on
the new PC?  Is there any other software installed which is not on the
other PCs?

Do you mean GPG4Win 1.1.3?

GnuPG 1.1.3 (if it existed) would date back to circa 2000.

You _DE_crypt with a secret key. You encrypt to a public key.

Without the specific error message, we're reduced to mind-reading and guessing.
However, I'll take a guess and say you need to import the secret key as well as
the public.

As there is only one key involved, the quick and dirty (BUT non-canonical and
guaranteed to change in a future version) way is to copy the files from a
working profile to the new user.

The keyring files, pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, trustdb.gpg, are stored by
default in %APPDATA%\GnuPG. This usually translates as

 - Window XP and earlier (XP/2000/NT) -
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\GnuPG

 - Windows Vista and Windows 7:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\gnupg

Any custom settings for GnuPG are stored in gpg.conf. It and any other
GnuPG config files are /normally/ located in the same directory as the
keyring files.
