: : Hello Mark,
: : I had a system (Win95) crash a few days ago which resulted in a corrupt password (*.pwl) file. So, I was forced to created a new Windows login password. However, when went to retrieve prices from the internet, I received the following message:

: : "Could not create internet output log file 'C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\intlog.txt'

: : Check directory specification in registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\currentVersion\directory location"

: : My registry key currently reads as follows:

: : (default) (value not set)
: : autoback "C:\Program Files\FundMgr\Autoback"
: : newauto "C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\my_data"

: : Note: My copy of Fund Manager is located in "C:\Program Files\FundMgr" directory.

: : Now some how the registry was affected, could you suggest a remedy for this dilemma?
: : Additionally, I've lost my custom reports, category labels, currency settings, etc. Is there any way to recover these too?

: : Best regards,
: : Clive

: Hi Clive,

: You'll want to run the installation program to properly set up Fund
: Manager under your new user. Just re-install it right over where you have
: it now, and this will update the registry settings, and eliminate that
: error message.

: The custom reports etc... are stored in your registry. If you can
: still log in as your old user, you can go export the values from the location:

: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\currentVersion

: and then import them into your new user's registry. You'll want to make sure
: to run the install program _after_ importing any of these registry entries.

: Thanks,
: Mark

Thanks for the reply, Mark.

After the crash, I couldn't logon with my old password. The system would lock-up and display a message indicating a problem accessing the system registry and that I should restore the registry. Which I did, but still resulting in the same problem after a restart. The only way I could restart was by by-passing the login prompt, so I assumed my password list file was corrupt and created a new one and the system restarted with an old desktop. So I assume my custom Fund Manger setting are lost.
