Hi, I'm struggling to access my address book from my old PC, which died.
The hard drive still works so I have been able to access the old profiles (why are there 2?) and replaced in the install of this new machine:
"Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
So.. that didn't work then. I cannot even load Thunderbird now, just gives that message.
The original machine was Windows 7. I cannot run it, so cannot tell you what version of Tbird it was but it was reasonably up to date. Current install is the very latest.
So... what to do next? I can put a copy of the profile back... OK, can start Tbird again, but how to access the old profile with many years of address book?
Manually copying the profile files into the profile folder doesn't seem to work, even after removing the (new) originals. Rather than using the old ones it's just saying it can't find the newer ones, so I presume there's some way of telling it to use those older ones?
Thanks!
