I'm trying to export my Plus! preferences (with names 'n all) from my old pc to my new pc. I click on the Save/Load icon and i export my preferences to a file. No errors nor warnings while doing this. Then I move the file to my new pc and import my setting from the file. No errors here either, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS!!!! The nicks I've changed & the preferences I've changed do not appear...it's just as if I did nothing. I don't know if the fact that my old computer is running on Windows ME and my new pc is running on Windows XP has anything to do with that. Both Messenger versions are the same and both Plus! versions are the same.
Has anyone had this problem before?? Can somebody help me??

RE: Problem when restoring preferences
I dount the different OSes are causing the problems. However, if you're trying to transport settings between different e-mail addresses, that may be the cause of the problem.
I am encountering this exact same problem while trying to copy preferences from Windows 98SE to Windows XP. Absolutely nothing happens when I do the import, and the accounts are the same.
