| Posted: | | | | .dpb are backup files, there is no specific folder for them.
There's a difference between opening a databaße and restoring one. | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

| Posted: | | | | The easiest way would be to simply copy the database folder from your old HDD to the new location.
If you try to open a database that was not created with the specific user-account you may run into some severe access-right problems. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up! But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Need to find the .dpb file folder Can't you just do a search of your drives for any .dpb file? Once you find it, then point the restore program to it...or am I missing something? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | fixed! I did it a third way ... what I did was I had the new program installed on my new Hard drive .. & that 'program' installed ( as you all know ) under C: Program files / dvd profiler .. now under C: documents and settings/my name/my documents/ 'dvd profiler' ..( xp windows) I opened up 'that' file and highlighted and deleted ALL , then went into my back up HD which in this case was under I: documents settings/'my name'/ dvd profiler and opened that file and dragged the entire works over top the Cdrive and dropped it into the now empty folder and after 8 minutes of transferring .. voila '' opened up my desktop icon and there was my old files of special covers I have created over the years for certain branched titles and its children ..
so bottom line drag and drop instead of pointing and directing ... Lewis had it correct .. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
