Your experience mimics that of a friend of mine who upgraded computers from an old XP to Win7 a year or so ago. (He's 700 miles away.) I warned him to be sure his "local geek" installed Thunderbird and Firefox and copied the profiles to the new box, even gave him detailed instructions. Nope, not even close. The guy copied over some Microsoft stuff and pictures, but that was all. Gone forever. > Is it important that I get my personal profile corrected, or is it OK to > just work with a default profile?

Otherwise, you will have to recreate all accounts and things from scratch.
