Forum Newbie Customers GenoPro version: 2.5.4.1 Last Login: Saturday, November 27, 2021 Posts: 5, Visits: 13	Help! For the last couple of years, I have been working on GenoPro just by clicking on the program exe file. This has always allowed me to work on a genogram/file that was already present when the program started. At the end of a session, I would save, and then close the program. I thought this was saving the last used gno file. But when I did a Windows search of the hard disk in September, I saw that the last .gno file it came up with was dated 1 January 2018. While (now) the last time I worked in GenoPro was 2 October 2019. A lot of work was done on the genogram in this period. So a big problem surfaced today, as I have replaced my hard disk. For some reason, when I first launched the GenoPro.exe file (from backup of old hard disk), rather than startup already with the genogram I was working on when I last closed the program, the program required me to re-register the application with GenoPro. And as one might imagine, the newly registered app when launched no longer opens with that same genogram file, nor does it have any file history of recently opened gno files. So all work in the last two years seems lost! Are there some hidden and/or temporary files that GenoPro uses (I have 2011 version) that it calls up when the program launches that would contain the October 2019 genogram? I saw in one post that while open, GenoPro works on an xml file that becomes a gno when saved? Is there something in the Windows Registry that can help me here - I possibly can still use the old hard disk if worst come to worse. Edited:* Monday, November 11, 2019 by 104208
