go intp c drive- George- backup, then copy and paste that file onto your stick.

download george then use the backup facility or swap the copied file straight for the new backup one

[geefree]

Thanks Dave,

i dont use the internet back up now (its expired)

can i still do it ?

[Moderator David@stives]

yes

If you go on George site you will see the restore program, download it and use that.

you can even email the back up to your self if you have email on your second pc

Thanks very much

i have put the latest back up on a memory stick, and popped it into the other laptop....

and i downloaded the data restore from george,

but no joy.... do i have to download the full version of george again?...as i did not do that because its a free demo etc.

thanks for any help.

[Moderator David@stives]

yes download George again, do a data restore with the restore program,

[geefree]

Thanks dave, done all that, but when i try to open my back up stick in george, it says.... X" failed to set data for"

may have to start again.

[Moderator David@stives]

copy your stick to the desktop, and retrieve the file from there

email the programer he's more than helpful his email is on the home page.

[geefree]

sorry dave,

i have done all that and i can see the files but each time i try to open one it says.

" GRESTORE-FAILED TO SET DATA FOR"

[geefree]

i did email him , no reply as yet 

[tomo]

gazza when i transferred mine from pc to pc i was getting similar problems, i used the data fix, it seemed to do the trick, sorry if you've already tried this, you'll have to wait for the programmer he answered me within 24 hrs so hopefully you'll be out of your misery soon enough

Q: How do I transfer George to another PC?

A: You have a choice of 3 ways to transfer your data...

Load & Exit George - when it asks if you want to backup to another drive say  yes and backup to floppy disk
or USB Flash drive.

OR - Email the  file BACKUP.GEO from the C:\George\Backup folder on the old PC and pick up  the eMail
on the new one.

OR - If you are a registered user - make sure you have the latest version of George on the old PC, do an internet backup and let us know when  you've done it. We can then eMail it to you for collection on the new PC.

Whichever way you choose to do it, install the latest George demo on  the new PC together with our Data Restore program (when they are installed run each of them once and then close it to initialise the links in Windows) .

If you are running Windows XP you can then open the file on the floppy disk / Flash drive or the eMail attachment and the Data Restore program will pop up and offer to restore your  data

If you are running Windows Vista, EITHER save the file in C:\George\Backup (overwrite the existing file), then run the Data Restore program and click the “Latest” button OR save the file on your desktop and drag it onto the data restore program icon.

Make sure George isn’t running when you do it.

Thanks tomo,

tried to do it all the ways you mentioned,

now i am  getting more error messages, restore data failed etc, or errors violation at 00000000000

even deleted george, data fix, and data restore and tried again on the new pc.... all with no luck,

but thanks for your help

Tomo And Dave.

it simply does not work, i have done everything right, and it says errors data may be lost, its the restore that does not work.....and all the other stuff i posted above...

well its driving me nuts now i will just have to stick with my old pc a little while longer
