How did the transfer take place? Did you put your directories on
a CDR to copy them to the new machine?

The problem I suspect is that your AB files could be write-
protected (which will happen automatically if you copy files from
a CDR to your HDD). I had exactly that problem some time ago and
the symptoms were the same that you described.

If my suggestion above is true, the reason for this is obvious.
The third AB was created on the new machine and therefore it is
not write-protected. But TB! must add it to its addressbook.ini
file, which I suppose is write-protected. As that can't be done
you address book isn't remembered after restarting the programme.
