3. In Library go to Preferences ---> Imaginova Canada ---> Prefs
Thanks, Keiron,
I had looked in the manual (REALLY), just didn't come with the right search string - A Table of Contents is so analog... ;-)
I already knew where the prefs were kept. I just didn't know if it was safe to simply drag and drop them. I see now they are just HTML (sans </HTML> tags... ;-).
If anyone finds it useful here are DSLRs.txt values for the Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon 10D:

Hello: I am also trying to move my copy of Starry Night ver 3.2.1 from my old Win XP computer to my new Win 7 computer. I'm getting the error msg: "Unable to locate Win32data.qtr" file. Please reinstall."
Is it possible to get ver 3.2.1 to work on a Win 7 PC? If so, how is it done?
Hi Don,

Keiron, no luck so far. I see how to move files, etc., but not the entire program over. I have the reg # if that helps. TOm
