Up grading to a new computer

[Jim_colo]

Hello
What is the best way to move the CarveWright design, centerline text software and all the pattern files to a new computer

Thank you.

I'm sure there's a government pamphlet you can receive... just write to ...Pueblo Colorado... Sorry, I couldn't resist

Seriously though, I just did the same thing-- download the software from the carvewright site, call them up, and tell them what you are trying to do and they will transfer the code for your new computer so you can use it.

Hope this helps,
Lawrence

Dear Sir or Ma'am,



Some new features in the CarveWright Designer Software call upon services that are installed in the Windows Operating System. If these services are not functioning correctly then the CarveWright Designer Software will flash the designer logo and not operate. The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) runs/maintains several background programs/services on a Windows computer and that may not be noticed if it is running improperly. Our Software engineers have done research to find a solution that repairs your operating system. Once the WMI is running properly then the CarveWright Designer Software should operate without error. You can use one of the following instructions to repair your WMI:



Commands to re-register WMI components:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

(type each of the following lines on screen hitting enter after each.)

cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem

for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i

for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegServer



If the preceding does not rectify the problem then you may have to re-install the WMI files.

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

(type each of the following lines on screen hitting enter after each.)

Insert Windows Operating CD

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132 %windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf





If the neither of the preceding steps resolve the issue, we suggest completely re-installing your Windows Operating System or consulting your local computer repair technician. We hope this information is clear and helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Jim,

You are more than welcome for the help and glad it was able to get you set up.

Did you have to do the steps in the emial from support to get things fixed up?

[Jim_colo]

Yes the steps in the emial from support did get things fixed up.
Now all I need to do is find my pattern list and copy it to the new PC. Any info on how to back up or move the patterns?

If you are talking about your patterns (favorites) from the icon in designer, the file you are looking for is favorites.mpn. Found in your documents\carvewright folder.
You should just be able to copy that to your new computer into the same location. Not sure if you will need to rename that file that is already on your new computer.
