Thanks for the reply Jeromy. Oddly enough under control panel>add/remove only PT10 is listed, not PT12 so couldn't go that route anyway. Likewise there is no listing under processes for PT12, only PT10, so I was confused if there was file sharing. I've deleted some PT12 files that were empty and yes I am trying to make more space to defrag, speed file/program access and reduce memory usage.

Navyo,

The associate type of the Address Book won't make a different. Provided you don't open the file within wordpad (that could change the format of the information and make it unreadable by PTs).
Also, you don't need to have Office installed. It just happens to be the same extension name, but they are not cross-compatible.

Do you know how to take a screen shot?

I would like a screen shot of the AddressBook.

You can store it on www.imageshack.us for free, then just paste the link here.

Chris,

I wouldn't use the Add/Remove Programs applet because that will remove shared files between the two. However, if you are concerned about space, just delete the C:\Program Files\PowerTools 12 folder and any entry pointing to the PT 12 file from the start menu (just right-click > select delete on each entry to remove).

I hope this helps.

pt10 vs. pt12
« Result #5 on Oct 31, 2009, 4:07pm »

Hi...I use AOL 8.0 plus and PT10 now but at one time I downloaded AOL 9.0 and PT12. I no longer use 9.0 but PT12 is still on this computer which I am trying to clean up. Can I remove/uninstall PT12 without affecting PT10's functions...wondering if they share files?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Reinstalled Address Book Does Not Open
« Result #6 on Oct 30, 2009, 1:14am »

None of the files were marked "read only".

I inadvertently associated the Address Book file as a "Wordpad" file when I checked the attributes. Now those files are marked as "Wordpad". Does that make a difference?

Is there some way to open those files to look at the date so I could at least read the records?

Also, I see that those are ".mbd" files for Microsoft Office Access. I do not have MS Office installed. Does that make a difference?

I have a back-up copy of PT on another drive. Should I download a new fresh installation of PT and try again to use the back-up Address Book? Also, I am using PT 9.0. Previously, I had AOL 9.0SE before I had to reinstall my software.

Thanks again for all your help.

Check to see if the new file is marked as "read-only". Sometimes when you copy a file it changes the file properties.

Hi...Thanks for your reply.

Yes...all the fields of the Address Book are displayed. The Address Book displays normally, but there are ZERO records displayed.

On the Address Book toolbar under "Book" I have selected the old book that I moved to the new PT directory. When you "right click" on the file in the directory, it indicates that the size is correct. In other words, it is much larger than the "empty" file that you first get when you install PT so that indicates that the file is not empty. Yet there are no records.

I have re-installed PT before and have never had a problem with just copying the old Address Book and Custom Phrases into the new directory and opening them. Do you have any idea what is wrong?

I have dozens of records in my Address Book that I need to retrieve. Please help!

Thanks again!

PowerTools 10 will, *I think*.

It's been so long since anyone has asked about AOL 6.0 I honestly can't remember.

You can download and try to install (use the link within my signature below) and see if it works.

Unfortunately, unless you have your registration number, you will not be able to use PowerTools. There is no way to look up the number now that BPS Software has closed.

I have AOL 6.0, and used to have power tools, is there a copy out there of power tools that will work for AOL 6.0?
