I just installed Windows 8 on a separate partition on my laptop and copied
my profile over and get an error.
Do I have to do something else to transfer the profile over?
Once I have it working in Windows 8 and delete the profile from my Windows
7 partition (need free space) can I have Windows 7 use the profile stored
in the Windows 8 partition (or could I have it stored on my Data/Files
partition)?
And the error message is .............??
Mike, I'm going to guess that it mentions something about the profile
being "Read Only" and suggest you have a look at where your profile is
located. Go to Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, and select
"Sever Settings" for your Mail account. At the bottom of that screen,
you should see "Local directory".
Part of that should have something like "fgnvbfbg.default" (random
numbers and letters followed by default). Copy and cut or write on paper
or remember this part of the address. Close SeaMonkey, and in Windows
Explorer, go to this address, right click on the folder, select
"Properties", de-select "Read Only" and then select "Apply to all files
and sub-folders" or whatever the wording is and click apply.
If your W7 install of SeaMonkey can "see" the W8 profile, in Windows
Explorer, then, in w7 SM, Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage
Profiles->Create Profile then, on the screen after next, enter a profile
name ("Win8 SM", maybe) and on the same screen "Choose Folder" and point
to the "fgnvbfbg.default" folder and then o.k. your way out.
Mike, if you have sent or received any e-mails in the original Win8 SM
profile, you will then need to combine that profile with/into the moved
profile, so you don't lose anything. Ask back here when you get to this
stage.
HTH!
