When upgrading from XP Home to XP Pro, Windows did not properly install.
To get around this, a consultant performed what effectively amounted to a
clean install of XP Pro from the upgrade CD. Although the old windows
folder and software are still on the hard disk, we created a new windows
folder from which the pc is directed to boot up, requiring me to reinstall
all of the old software. Copying the old The Bat directory to the new
Windows program directory from the old directory, allows me to use e-Mail,
but I have to add each of the three accounts that I had, manually, AND,
more importantly, (as with my AV and firewall) the Bat thinks I am using a
trial version and wants me to register or buy within 30 days (now 28). Of
course, I registered and paid for The Bat a little over two years ago.
1. Should I just re-register using the product key that was e-mailed to me,
or is there a more elegant (and preferable) way to do this?
2. I am currently using version 1.61. Because it worked fine for me, I
never bothered to upgrade to 2.0. However, how do I know what release of
1.61 I am using (is it "i" , "k", "r" etc.)? I last upgraded to "i" or
"k", but how do I know that the .exe file for The Bat's application that I
clicked on to install it, is actually running the most recent version of
1.61 that I upgraded to? The "about" feature under "help" does not
clarify which release is being used, other than to say "1.61."
Thanks.
