Re: Multiple profiles in different user areas Win XP

TIA Lance Lance, you mention the last time I tried to upgrade.. This implies to me that this was a second (or more) attempt to upgrade. If this is the case, be careful, because when you first tried SM 2.x.x, it would have made a copy of your SM 1.1.x profile, and then you may have deleted SM 2.x.x (but not removed this copy of the profile). Then, when you re-installed SM 2.x.x, it would have picked up this old, un-up-to-date (if that's English??), version of your profile. And when you, now, re-install SM 2.x.x, it will again pick up this old profile, i.e. before you re-install SM 2, delete the copy of your profile. *Be Careful*. At this stage SM 2.x.x will only pick up your default profile, which can be a problem, but the work-around is fairly simple...in the new SM, create the extra profiles, in their simplest, then copy/move the folders over from your SM 1.1.18 profile. HTH Daniel Does that work Daniel? I had somewhat of the same problem that Lance had by having my profile where SeaMonkey could not find it. My default Documents is on a different HD than the operating system and thus SeaMonkey 1.xx was on D. After the upgrade was complete nothing was transferred... I had a clean setup... Moving my 1.xxx stuff into 2.xx did not work as the format is different. In the end I had to reinstall 1.xx into its default place, then copy my backup into that... Then do a upgrade.. very convoluted and frustrating. Ralph, I switched from a Desk Top computer to a Lap Top at the time I moved from SM 1.1.18 (on dual boot Win98/MandrivaLinux2009.0) to SM 2.0.0, (on dual boot Win7/MandrivaLinux 2009.0) so all I did was to install SM 2.0.0 completely on both OS's, then set up a SM profile, including News Servers and News Groups, (on the Win7 H:) that both the Win7 SM and Linux SM would use. Then I copied the profile and newsgroup info from the Desk Top to the Lap Top. No great problems Can I be of any help to you??
