N4 - Moving to new puter

OK gurus...What is the easiest way to move existing set ups and painted cars to newly installed N4 on new computer? I'd sure like to move my entire download folder as well. Cant keep old HD as I'm selling the old computer. Thanks in advance.

Just put all of your setups on a CD if you can. Make sure you keep your player.ini and N4 online file(it has a really long name of letters and numbers) Just paste them back onto the new install of N4 and you're good to go. Better yet, install both HDDs and copy em over then put it back in the old one "Dixiemandan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > OK gurus...What is the easiest way to move existing set ups and paintedcars to > newly installed N4 on new computer?

Zip the export folder, the players folder, the series\cup\cars folder and email them to yourself Unzip them to their proper place after you reinstall the game Dixiemandan <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > OK gurus...What is the easiest way to move existing set ups and paintedcars to > newly installed N4 on new computer?

One thing to remember if you copy them to CD... After you copy them back, they will all have the read-only bit set. Make sure you clear this or you'll have trouble. If under Win2K, you can select the setups folder itself and do properties. Then set & clear the read-only and it will take care of everything in the folder at the same time. I don't believe this works under Win9x and you have to do each one individually or with a utility. -Larry "Kirk House" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b58f7f1$0$279$[email hidden]... > Just put all of your setups on a CD if you can.

If he changes motherboards, he has to do a new installation. While I don't have a problem with the Ghost per-se, just re-writing the image to the new hard drive is probably going to be quite painful. -Larry "Txl" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Vdc67.1765$[email hidden]... > ghost your old drive to the new one....you'll keep all your setups, allyou

ih hje doesn't chage mobo chipstes then trhere is no problem at all if the chipset is new all you have to do is let the new mobo detect all the windows drivers and so on, if it fails then just run a windows reinstall on top of the old one....

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Being computer knowledge impaired, I'm going with zip and email solution. Thanks again all
