I tell you what I did in detail: First I formatted the new USB stick to the same file system as the old one, in my case FAT32. Then I ran volumeid.exe (available at sysinternals.com) and set the volume ID to the same hex number that the old stick had, in my case 0000-0000. (You can see your drive's actual volume ID by typing "vol <drive letter>:" at the command prompt.) Now I copied the complete contents of the old stick to the new one, and, voilà, Voyager ran as usual without even asking for an activation key. -- Cheers Peter The Bat! v4.0.24.11 :beta: on WinXP, SP3, 5, 1, build 2600 plenty of POP accounts, no IMAP, several newsgroups via MyGate OTFE disabled AMD Athlon 2200+ at 1794 MHz, 512 MB RAM ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.0.24.11 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
