The only thing I didn't do (because I was not aware of a separate location or any location for that matter) was write all of my settings down in a little book so that I could reference them when I had to bring the new software to a more user friendly level. From now on, we're going to keep an 'Engraver's Notebook' to record all settings, cleanings and whatever the heck else I may need to reference. I'm stuck with only the settings I can recall in my head now.</p> <p>That's why we live and learn...</p> <hr /><a name="a1132_2"></a><p><b>From: lindalee</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1132.2">#2</a>]<br /> 12 Apr 2005<br /><b>To: Nick (KOZASNJZ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1132.1">#1</a>] 13 Apr 2005</p> <p>Nick, restore your computer to the day before you upgraded, all the files should be back to normal.</p> <p>Linda</p><hr /><a name="a1132_3"></a><p><b>From: Nick (KOZASNJZ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1132.3">#3</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2005<br /><b>To: lindalee</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1132.2">#2</a>] 13 Apr 2005</p> That was my first instinct. Before I even began uninstalling my old Gravostyle, I set a restore point so I could get back to normal just in case of an error on my part. After the upgrade and the realization I lost all my settings, I restored the computer to the point I had set mentioned before. When I attempted to run the original program, my computer told me there was a missing file and was unable to initiate the program at all. I tried restoring from a few days earlier to no avail. <hr /><a name="a1132_4"></a><p><b>From: Ken D.

I would guess that the software you upgraded is part application, part driver. System restores are to get the computer running again, if there's a problem, not your software. Don't get it confused with creating a backup.<br /> <hr /><a name="a1132_5"></a><p><b>From: lindalee</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1132.5">#5</a>]<br /> 13 Apr 2005<br /><b>To: Ken D.

I then restored to the day before, copied my printer files (hand copied), then added them to the new printer file. I guess it works if there are no other problems.
