lisbet87 -> Trying to transfer old game to new computer. (3/30/2015 7:28:40 PM) 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.

(3/30/2015 9:46:01 PM) You can't Reinstall from a mirrored hard drive, you need to delete the folder that was left in the mirror image and start out clean. Hoyle 2008 uses Secure Rom copy protection and the disc has to be in the drive at least once after a clear clean install.
