It does not matter where the files are located, as long as you find them with the Restore command.

Pamela, Just to take things from the top, if I copy mt_backup from the XP and paste it on the external drive, is it what I want to do? mt_backup is in C:\To Be Backed Up on the XP and mt_backup has Address C:\To Be Backed Up\mt_backup Go templates Account1.mtf category.ini items.ini paynames.ini Primary Checking.mtf When the register on the XP was up to date and mt_backup had been copied to the external drive, I think I had already selected restore from backup and it did not bring the register on the Windows 7 up to date, but I'll happily try it again if I'm sure what should be on the external hard drive. Right now, , it looks like the register on the Win 7 is only up to date some time in September. There are entries past then, but they haven't been cleared, some deposits are missing, and other information isn't accurate.

It will ask where you are restoring from, so point to your thumb drive or whatever, and it will know where to place the files.

You might try the Browse function, and be sure you are pointing to the correct drive/folder. Another possibility is that you backed up to a folder on your removable drive from the XP machine instead of the root. You can check this by going to the Backup Files option on your Windows XP copy of Money Talks, and checking the path which is shown. It is that path you want to use when restoring on the Windows 7 side.

I tried following Pamela’s instructions “ You can do a back up on the first machine and use the restore back up on the new machine to bring the registry over., “ but am getting a “The selected folder does not contain a valid backup set” error message when I do the restore files. The documentation says “ To backup your financial information, select Backup Files from the File menu. The program prompts you for the location of the backup. It is normally a good idea to back your files up to some kind of external media like a floppy drive or thumb drive. Whatever the case, select the location or provide the path to where you want the backups stored and press OK. The next time you use the Backup Files option, Money Talks remembers where you stored the backups last time and offers that path as your new default. To backup to that location again, just press OK. To restore a set of files, select Restore Files from the file menu. The program asks for the location of the backed up files and restores them to the Money Talks folder in your documents.” I spent several hours on this and there’s probably something perfectly simple that I’m missing. I can spend the time to manually update the entries in the checkbook register since it would only be two and a half months worth, but I’m afraid the copy of Money Talks on the Windows 7 computer is so messed up at this point that uninstalling and starting from scratch may be in order. If you agree, could you please provide specific steps for what I do after I uninstall and reinstall? There is 6 years worth of entries on the checkbook register on the XP and I’d like to be able to bring at least that over to the Win 7. I greatly appreciate your patience.

I’ll have to spend some time learning about the admin privileges with Windows 7 and will probably have to talk to my tech. Before I spend all that time, there’s one thing I wanted to double check on. When the installation begins, it says it is installing Money Talks 1.1.0.0. Version 1.1.0.0 is on the Windows 7 machine now. When I click on check for updates it says “No update is available at this time.” I don’t understand how this is supposed to help me get updates to 1.4.0.0 which is on the XP?

That doesn’t sound like to much of a chore. Before I start, I have a question. It took me a while to look at Money Talks on the new Win 7 since I was trying to learn the new OS and finding my way around it and I was updating MT on the XP for around a month so the register on the Windows 7 isn’t up to date. Manually bringing it current wouldn’t be overwhelming for the one month or so, but I was wondering if before I install the .exe file you mentioned if copying the MT Backups folder to my external drive and pasting it on the MT Backups on the Win 7 so the files would be over written would allow me to skip having to manually update the register? Or is there another way? I’ve got about 6 years worth of entries and don’t want to mess up.

My checkbook register initially initially appeared to be in reasonably good order once I re-arranged columns etc., but I discovered a big problem. version 1.4.0.0 is on the XP version 1.1.0.0 is on the Windows 7 and check for updates says no update is available. I purchased the downloadable version so don’t have the CD. I have my registration code. Is there some half-way easy way of getting Money Talks on the Windows 7 the same as that on the XP so I can have the newer version and the register and all associated files will be up to date? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Margaret
