Trying to transfer old game to new computer. - 3/30/2015 7:28:40 PM    lisbet87   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/30/2015 Status: offline Hi, My mom's computer broke and we needed to change the operating system from vista to windows 7. We had mirrored her hard drive before and still have the encore folders on the external hard drive. I re installed Hoyle Card Game 2008 onto the computer and she really wants her old game back. Is there a way I could just transfer it over? Thanks. Post #: 1

Hoyle 2008 uses Secure Rom copy protection and the disc has to be in the drive at least once after a clear clean install. _____________________________ Jason Carver Encore Sales Department and Customer Service www.encore.com For Tech Support, visit http://support.encore.com (in reply to lisbet87) Post #: 3
