Need help upgrading

[GeorgeD 0]

I am running dc+ on my old xp machine.

The software starts but then will not let me access anything saying i need to upgrade.

I do not remember what my settings are, and i lose my login/passwords, i will not be able get on again.

I would appreciate any help that would ensure upgrading would not cost me my data

Back up your apexdc++ Settings folder or folder of apexdc++ from Documents and Settings (depends where you chose to store your settings). You should be able to verify it by opening file Favorites.xml where your favorite hubs with logins/passwords are stored. Then you can upgrade and after the upgrade, replace the files with the files you stored in backup.
