Can't remove Protector Suite QL 5.2 after Vista upgrade

Hi guys,

I have a BIG problem, it is actually the opposite. I have a sony vaio laptop which has the finger print recognition and my safe feature. I upgraded to vista using the fresh clean install option i thought my safe would stay and convert to the new filing system but it hasnt and i have lost everything. is there anyway now i cna get the files from mysafe back even it it means reinstalling xp? regards Hunnie

 

1. Load the new Protector Suite QL 5.6. When you did the clean install, Vista should have created a folder in the C:\ root directory called Windows_old (or something to that effect).

2. Find the the file mysafe.fdp. Try looking in C:\Windows_old\Documents and Settings\[your name]\App Data\Protector Suite (the folder "App Data" is more than likely hidden so you'll have to enable viewing of hidden files and folders).

3. Copy your mysafe.fdp file to: C:\users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Protector Suite (you will probably have to enable Hidden Files and Folders again to see AppData and also, you may have to create the folder "Protector Suite" if it is not in Roaming).

4. Go to C:\Program Files\Protector Suite QL and find the file ms2fs.exe. It is a conversion utility that will allow you to convert the old My Safe to the new format. Double click it and it will find the mysafe.fdp file and ask you to enter you backup password (from version 5.2) before completing the conversion.

5. Follow the instructions for converting to the new My Safe format!
