I have been using a Version 1.xxx of Mnemosyne almost daily for more than a 
year and loved it. Today I noticed that a newer version was available and 
decided it was time to upgrade. AArrrrggghhh!

I am running Windows System 7.
Next I uninstalled the previous version of Mnemosyne. Sad to say goodbye -- it 
was working so well!

Then I downloaded mnemosyne-2.1.1-setup.exe 
and executed the installation.

The program opened successfully the first time, but it wasn't accessing my 
database.
 
I added one simple card and tried the "Save As" command, to see where the 
program would be looking for data. It pointed me to:
C: Computer\Local Disk (C:)\Users\Jack Thro\mnemosyne

I exited the program, then moved all of my backup data into the above folder 
and tried to re-start the program.

At first I received many "unexpected error" warning messages, all pointing to 
plugins in my old database. I removed all of the plugin filess and then tried 
again to re-start the program. Since then, I continue to get only one 
"unexpected error" message, as follows:

An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:

Traceback (innermost last):
File "mnemosyne", line 155, in <module>
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\__init__.pyo", line 179, in initialise
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\__init__.pyo", line 295, in load_database
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\databases\SQLite.pyo", line 351, in load
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\databases\SQLite_media.pyo", line 39, in

File "os.pyo", line 150, in makedirs
File "os.pyo", line 157, in makedirs
WindowsError:[Error5]Access is denied:u'backups'

End of error message.

Please give me some suggestions on what to do. I'm quite willing to go back to 
a Version 1.xxx of the software if that is the only way.
Thanks!
