These instructions were the ones that I used to finally create a
successsful new install.
The FAQ instructions didn't work for me & this way I didn't have to
muck around in the registry. I think some additional instructions
should be added to the FAQ about moving TB! to a new machine.
I will tell you, of all the programs I had to move, this was the
most frustrating to me. So Serge (& everyone else who pitched with
instructions) I thank you.
I'm on my new machine & things are working fine.
The next problem is fixing my squirrly folder directory which has
nested inboxes & duplicatre folders.
