How to restore settings

[schmar]

Hello everyone,

I saved the "HWiNFO64.INI" and used the "store all settings" option in the main menu.

Now I copy/pasted the old HWiNFO64.INI in place where the new installed blank one was, renemed the new installed into "HWiNFO64.INI new" before and then I double clicked the settings files...

But nothing happend when I started HWinfo again.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks
Markus

Only some portable settings are stored in the INI file. The other settings which you exported are saved into a different (.reg) file that you have chosen to save. To restore those settings you need to launch the .reg file.

Launch the reg file by double clicking it? I did that... Windwos said it was fine, it was written into the registrie.

Do I need more than to start HWinfo after that? Because nothing is displayed only when I configure it manually again...

Launching the file should be enough, then start HWiNFO again.

I don't know what I did wrong the first time but now it worked just fine. Thank you!
