If you copy the entire folder, its OK.

I wouldn't have > copied them over "all at once" before, but one at a time. I thought you have multiple accounts. Not all of them will contain corrupt configuration files. So, first you copy the entire account back and see if TB still starts fine. If it doesn't, you have found the problem account. Only then, and only in this problem account, you try one file at a time, so that we can restore the maximum of configuration data from the old account files. > And what do you mean by "move the old files back again"?

Yes, but as I wrote above, you can limit it to (most likely) one single configuration file (lets say account.srb), and you'll still have the rest of the "OK" files. > The way I see it, I'm, at best, going to lose at least one Account's > configuration files (provided only one Account is corrupted), right? Not the entire files, if you go thru these one at a time once you located the problematic account. > I'm afraid that I'm going to screw this up royally. Not now, we're so close, man. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) I suspect that most of us get old without growing up, and that inside every adult (sometimes not very far inside) is a bratty kid who wants everything his own way.
