I need to transfer A1-A4, G1-G3 from my old computer. I can transfer them by filesharing, but they do not remain registered. How would transfer them so that they remain registered? Thankz. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

I've transfered E3 on a flash drive, and I think I've done the same with BOA, A3 and A1. I don't know why you would have problems with it. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot? Posts: 900 | Registered: Monday, August 8 2005 07:00 |

Zip them and mail them to yourself, maybe? Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

Maybe transfer them and then mail Jeff? Or would that erase your save files? -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

MagmaDragoon is correct. You need to find and transfer the preferences files for each game. Or, if you can't or don't want to do that, just email Jeff and explain your situation, and he'll give you new registration codes for your new computer. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Using a firewire cable to connect your computers would probably be a safe and efficient way of transferring the games, although if your games are registered, you should have a registration CD or codes or something that you could use on your compy instead. If it's losing all your old saves that you are concerned about, just chuck them over to the new computer and they'll work as good as new. Whatever happened to good old Timbuktu? Being able to spy on other people's computer and watch what they were doing and then controlling it was always so much fun. EDIT: Or rather, the saves will work as good as when you saved them. If they worked as good as new, that really wouldn't be very good at all. :P [ Saturday, May 27, 2006 20:19: Message edited by: Robinator, #034 ] -------------------- Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.
