Hi, Thanks. Does the folder have to be copied to a particular place on the new hard drive? I downloaded Mnemosyne onto a second computer and it worked as expected, but when I copied the folder with my cards from the flash drive into the new Mnemosyne folder, it wouldn't work and just brought up an error message. Basically I haven't grasped how to make the cards backed up from one computer function on the other - assuming that I actually have backed up the cards by copying the folder from C:\Users\<your user > > name>\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne.
