I concur with these two points whole heartedly. I just migrated from using a 400Mhz desktop running Win2k to a 1.3Ghz laptop running WinXP. I had to do exactly what you wish to, though my running version of TB! was more current. I'd do the following: a) Backup your current installation and then do an upgrade of your current installation to the current one. Only if it's working well should you proceed with the rest of the steps. Otherwise, restore your old installation, and we can discuss how to transfer it to your new system. If you've successfully upgraded you can do the following: a) Go to the Tools menu and select 'Backup'. Tick all the items there, select 'Standard' backup and hit the 'browse' to indicate where you wish the backup file to be placed and the name you wish to give it. Now run the backup. b) On the new machine, install TB! v1.60c. You may be asked if you wish to restore a from a backup during this installation (new feature that I haven't personally seen in action). If so, then give it the backup file to work with and you're done. If not, not to worry. Do what I had to do. :-) Just continue with the installation, create an account as instructed (and which you'll delete after restoring your installation). When you're finished with that part go to the tools menu and select 'restore'. Add your backup file and tick all the items at the bottom and go. - -- Allie C Martin -- List Moderator PGPKey - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________ [MUA: TB! v1.60c (*) OS: Windows XP 5.1.2600] __ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6-2 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAjyjtnMACgkQV8nrYCsHF+IyIgCgqu+73NI7UPrdkvNF3ORc2RQj FCgAniOdd79FxXV0wQstyc9kv4nC5MVI =vkxp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60 / 1.60a FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
