Andys101 & Redfrock Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 technophobe here once again! Hubby bought a laptop today, mainly for his bits and bobs but we will be taking it with us when we go camping because then we can check cache pages etc while away, rather than looking on my Palm Vx and realising that I don't have the necessary pics, poems, etc etc So, the question is, am I able to run my Gsak program from both my home computer and my laptop. i'm not worried about internet connection just yet, I just want to be able to sit in the caravan the night before planning the following days caches from the offline info, and then of course bookmarking them on my palm for when I go out.

+Moote Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) The answer is yes. Without extra cost or new licence GSAK on Laptop and PC Edited May 18, 2006 by Moote Quote Link to comment
+Team Ballibeg Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Two Ways..... To copy all files and all settings use the 'File' ----'Backup' option. Then simply on laptop use the 'File'-----'restore' option. To Just copy all the databases goto where GSAK resides on the computer... normally c:\program files\GSAK and copy the contents of the folder 'data'. Open the same folder on the laptop and put the copied files in the c:\program files\GSAK\DATA there nad you will have an instant copy of GSAK and contents on the secong pc. Dave Quote Link to comment

+Longfram Kev Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Question much along the same line. I'm getting a new computer soon, (windows 98SE is finding it very hard to cope with GSAK, Broadband and wireless, keeps crashing.) I want to put GSAK on the new computer (XP) Tried going to the GSAK page to get my reg number but no luck as I've changed my e-mail address since I registered. Anyway of finding reg number in GSAK files/folders stored on computer ? eg windows, programme files etc. Any help from you techs would be gratefully received. Thanks Quote Link to comment

If you give him your old email address I'm sure he could help you. Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 There is a GSAK forum where you can post the question. Clyde prefers people to use the form so that the knowledge is shared. http://www.gsak.net/board/index.php?act=idx Peter Quote Link to comment
