I just bought a new PC and I can't figure out how to get my collection to import from the external drive it is stored on. Help?

a backup or the programs files?
  • 1) backup:

  • from dvd profiler menu: File > restore database and browse to the location where your backup is
    search for .dpb extension on your external harddrive.
  • 2) DVD Profiler program files:

  • find out where your program is installed now, something like:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Giga Wizard\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\
    here you find files with the extension .dat .idx ...
    you should find a simular structure if you had the DVD Profiler database on your external drive.
    copy the folder default complete to your new location.
    Giga Wizard change to your login name in windows
  • 3) you could also open the database on your external harddisc:

  • from dvd profiler menu:
    File > Open Database > Browse to the above location on your external harddrive:
    [drive lettre]:\Documents and Settings\Giga Wizard\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\
