Copying files from one machine to another will rarely get a program to
work. You usually need to run the installation program as there are registry
entries that need to be made in order to get the program to run.

Hi again
Thanks to all who posted advise to help with my software installation
problems. I post this information to help anyone else who is having troubles.
Althought I have not yet succeeded, here is what I have learned and tried.
Jean Scott responded with a suggestion posted by Steve M.
I copied files for both Frugal Vp and Winpoker between my old and new
computer and tried to run the .exe file. My computer ( a Dell Insperon running
in 64 bit mode )noted that these were shortcuts. My later tries at copying
non shortcuts were unsuccessful no doubt due to my lack of computer skills
with directories and file searches.
I also copied the files directly from my original disks onto my insperon
and attempted to run the .exe file. The computer again noted that my 64 bit
system and the file were incompatible.
Dan Paymar responded that his program will run on 64 bit systems with
Vista. I am not sure if it will run when Windows 7 comes out because I failed
to ask that question.
Bob Dancer responded that VP for Winners runs both on a 64 bit platform as
well as with both Vista and Windows 7.
I am certainly open to more suggestions on how better to copy the correct
files between computers. Failing that I will be buying a new program.
Again, thanks to ALL of you who wrote to help.
Jay
