Doug, Even when I use a backup programme and restore I still get the same error message. So no-one has ever copied their .gnupg folder to another laptop. No one has ever done this with any success. You have all failed. Clearly there's something wrong with gnupg that does not like being backed up copied whatever. If it were another programme say Thunderbird no one would use Thunderbird. They would say Thunderbird was crap. David -- “See the sanity of the man! No gods, no angels, no demons, no body.
