Hello again Terry,
Thank you so very much for your very quick and nice answers. I am going to try out some of them now. But, as I said I was long time user, I found my old screen name for here, it is "VKester", please look at see my sign in date there. I have all my original TMG discs, including v4 and v6. Now when I installed v6, it says "expired trial version". The only serial number I have (that I can find) is written on my v4 discs, it is an eight (8) alpha and numbers. The program tells me it is to short and incorrect. I installed my v4 disc of the program, but it will not take any of my backed up data.
My office room had been turned into my hospital bed room by my family when I got hurt, my kids took over my older computer which left the house with one of them when they moved out. I was not looking to get the v9 program, just my old correct serial number so that I can load in all my saved data, the way I was reading things I was guessing that possibly you or Harry would be able to help in that area. I do not mind paying for the v9 and going that route, which I guess I will need too.
Thank you again, Virgil Kester
