The last time I moved my TB! installation from my old to my new machine, I did the following: a) In the TB! main window, I went to the 'Tools' menu and selected 'Backup'. b) For the backup configuration: I checked all the items in the 'what to backup' section. I checked 'standard' for the backup method. For the backup file at the bottom, I browsed to the directory I wanted to save the backup, typed a file name and hit the save button. I then hit the OK button and waited for the backup to be generated. c) On the new machine, I started a fresh TB! installation. When all the TB! files are installed, you'll reach a point where you're asked if you wish to create new accounts or restore a previous installation. Choose to restore a previous installation. It will ask you where the backup file is. Navigate to it, and let TB! work it's magic. The advantage of this method is that it's more straightforward. It avoids having to worry about the registry. Finally, it gives you the freedom of installing TB! on any drive you wish on the new system. It can be different from that of the old installation. The disadvantage is that your general settings will be lost. General settings such as fonts, window sizes, ticker positions etc. This can be a good thing since restoring exact configuration on a new system may not be desirable. Tickers have disappeared because of changes in monitor resolution. - -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta7 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (Win32) - GPGshell v2.60 iD8DBQE9u2w3V8nrYCsHF+IRAjEQAJ4g1eFHkXpRcLsBiLEMjfadai1GcwCaAlqX 3JD3o8hU7VckMeZxradW6kE= =sbY/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
