I bought a new computer but before I did I transferred I thought all of my DVD profiler files to an external hard drive. But I can't seem to be able to set up DVD profiler on the new computer with all my old data. I have a folder on my external drive called DVD profiler with a number of entries but not my data base and I have another folder called backup  that has a folder under DVD profiler called Databases that has about 74 MB in it.  Is there a way to get them together on my new computer???  Thanks  Jay

I'll assume that you have installed DVD Profiler on the new computer, and put in your registration.


Did you do a backup?  (File-->Backup Database)
if so, you now need to  do a restore  (File--> Restore Database)

If you copy this DVD Profiler folder to your new My Documents folder then go to "Open Database", does Profiler list anything?

Edit: I'm talking about the DVD Profiler you have filed under Backup, as I believe it's the contents of the Databases folder that is read by the Open Database option.

I did send the DVD profiler folder to MY Documents and there is a database file in there (with about 88 mb.) but when I right click I don't have asn open database option - just open - when I do that there are a whole lot of folders insider (actors, etc)  jay

Open DVD Profiler. Go to File -> Open Database. Select the collection.dat from you database folder.
