MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR INFO

AlabamaTom · 02-21-2002, 05:46 PM

To stop future upgrade problems, type all your info down in your favorite text editor and then save it to a floppy.
Now the next time an upgrade comes along, you will have all your info saved for you.
I do this on a regular basis because of all the programs I have collected off the internet.
You can't imagine how many times it has saved by butt from having to repurchase the programs I had already bought!
Hope this helps some of you out there.

Info should include:

URL of company program bought from
Name of company program bought from
Program Name
Registration name
Registration number
Date of purchase
Current Email address at time of purchase
(Company name if required)

If you own a CD rewritable, backup the program and the above mentioned on the disk as well.

I hate computer crashes!

Great Job Jim!

Another good thing to do, is to Burn

your Download and Unzipped Folders to CD. Its a lifesaver if/when you have to Re-Format your HardDrive.

Of course that only works for people with a Burner

Sad thing is ... I knew a person once who swore he could burn a CD w/o a CD-R Drive ...
