This was a note I wrote a while back for GAIM, an integrated messaging client that I use.
The frustrating thing about changing computer is that many of the data get left on the old computer. I am online most of the time and use Gaim alot to stay in touch with clients, partners and friends. On a new computer, suddenly all the contacts are “lost“.
It actually turned out to be very straight forward to move Gaim profile to a new computer.
On the new computer I just had to
1. Install a copy of GAIM
2. Copy the former .gaim folder which located on the old drive
Documents and Settings\username \Application Data\.gaim
to
c:\Documents and Settings\username \Application Data
3. Start Gaim. All the accounts and contacts will just appear. Perfect!
