There may be another way, but it is no doubt prone to errors. ID: 15579 · Reply Quote

Then, move the folder to D: and re-install, taking care to be sure the Path is correct when using the installer. Re-installation should make the proper Registry entries and it should run okay from there. (Be sure the Desktop hot-link icon points to the right place.) ___________________________________________ ID: 15580 · Reply Quote
