Make a backup with your existing TB! installation. 2.) Copy that backup (*.tbk file) to the new machine. 3.) Download TB! onto thte new machine. 4.) when your installation starts, it will ask you whether you want to restore from a backup. It is that simple indeed. I have done thgat a couple of times. There are some settings that will not be restored; so minor that I don't remember which. I have always used the same version on the new machine. I don't know whether it will work with another version (64 instead of 32), others will chip in. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 7.3.6.3 (BETA) under Windows 10.0 Build 14393 ________________________________________________ Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
