migrating TB from Win7 desktop to Win XP laptop
I have been using TB for a few months now on Win7. I now need to copy my mail folder to WinXP on my laptop for a road trip.
On my desktop I have TB configured to use a profile on a data partition and it works just fine.
I installed TB on my laptop and made it a mirror image of the desktop version. TB installed in the boot partition with the profile in the data partition.
I changed the profile.ini in the documents and settings folder to point to the the new data partition profile but every time I start TB it wants me to setup my accounts. It doesn't seem to get what in needs from the new profile. I tried several times and have read the info on moving the profile location but still does cannot make it work.
Am I missing something? I haven't tried manually adding each account back in but will if I can't get the copied profile to work. I made it work on Win7, why can't I get it to work on WinXP?

Thanks for the link. I had tried setting the profile to point to the new profile several times and couldn't get it to work. I finally did get it to work so all is well now. Thanks.
