: : : 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.

Hi Clive,

Unfortunately, the only way to get those custom settings back is to be
able to retrieve them from the registry, which it sounds like you no
longer have access to...

Thanks,
Mark
