Winks Transfer or backups by Odium696 on 04-17-2005 at 03:24 PM
I saw 3 Winks I realy want but I was wondering if there is anyway to backup or Transfer the winks to an aother computer.
Because I have 2 computesr in my house and every 8 or so month I format the PC's and I dont want to loos the winks and keep spending $$
Is there any way I can do that?
All I want is to backup the so that they wor again with my messenger!

I belive, Im not sure at a 100%, maybe some1 could confirm this, but the Winks, and Dynamic Display Picture you buy are saved on your .net passeport, so you can use them wherever you log in with the latest msn messenger version.
BUT I AM NOT SURE AT A 100%, so.. maybe some1 could confirm this info, weither its right or wrong..

No, they are not stored in your Passport account, they are stored on the PC you downloaded them on.
When you buy a Wink or DDP it says "Only works on this computer". They are encrypted into the Messenger folder. I don't know if MsgPlus has a feature to back them up though?
But there is no easy way to do it. It's one of the things that sucks about Muggins etc
