Uh OH !  I may have outsmarted myself.  I ran on XP for years.  Concluded that my Raid Zero D-Data Drive was the place to put Qimage - and all its data for performance reasons.
After many months of messing around I now have a new Windows 7 system.  Without all XP's programs (@#$%^&*&&*!).  And a set of SSD's in Raid Zero as my C-Programs drive!
So I have to reinstall Qimage Pro.  But I want my old data back from its present unused home on D-Data.

Whats the best way of doing that. Getting my old data back to C-Programs drive so I have access to all my old saved jobs, etc.  ??

Art,
I haven't done this in a while, but I believe all you have to do is click UTILITIES  in Qimage Ultimate, and select Migrate Application Data.
It asks for a destination folder..... but you have Pro and not Ultimate.
So I opened Pro and there's the same routine available there too.
I did surprise myself.... but pleasantly.
Give that a try!
All the folders containg the old saved jobs etc. should go as sub folders inside the QIMAGE FOLDER, which is inside Program Data.

Thnx for the tip Fred.  But No Cigar !
The migrate utility allows you to select a Destination for the migrate;
but NOT the source.  So it only really allows me to move the the data existing
in the Win 7 Program Data for the fresh install of Qimage to another location.

I want to move it from my old D-Data area for Qimage to the C-Programs 'Program Data' area for Qimage in Win 7

Another suggestion ?  Does copying all the old D-data Qimage folders over the installation folder of Qimage data in Program Data area make sense ?

Of course!
The routine I described previously was supposed to be the easy way.... manually, moving the folders to the proper location is fine.

Its not as simple as just copying data over installation directory.
Now in Windows 7 there is 'Program Data' directory.
I have tried to merge folder for folder from the old XP program directory to the Windows 7 Program Data for Qimage.
Seems to be working as I can see my old print jobs & the Queue.
Shows some printer/driver errors I haven't resolved yet.
Nothing with computers is simple !

Art,

That's what the automated restructuring routine in Qimage  does for you. It relocates the files to the Program Data directory.
Now it sounds like you might just have to replace the drivers for your printers. Most will need W7 drivers.
