    Might be a daft question Derek, but are the files in signpal format?
    and have you tried importing them direct to signlab?Peter

    Derek if your SignPal software is not working and all your jobs at the time were just saved then that means they are Flexi files and so only Flexi or SignPal software I believe will open them.

    Any chance of explaining what has "crashed" is it the software or pc.

    Hi peter
    yes they are in signpal format saved on disc on friday gone Phew!
    but unlike most files which just drag into signlab these dont
    if i can get this up and running
    it means i am going to have to go through each and every file and re save as an a.i.
    or am i missing something

    So it won’t work with XP, your SignPal must be version 6.0 , 6.5 or 6.6 that makes things tricky.

    I think you will need to get the old pc running again and then export all your jobs out as a.i. files.

    V 7.6 was the version to be fully compatible with XP, V 7.0 did have problems with XP, when the service packs came out and with newer versions of XP.

    When XP came out, initially there were patches for V 7.0 but with the updates happening to XP more and more problems came about for V 7.0

    Hi Nigel
    its just been pointed out to me that the box is marked with compatible with 95/98/2000/NT/ XP
    and its actually not because it wont work

    When XP came out, initially there were patches for V 7.0 but with the updates happening to XP more and more problems came about for V 7.0

    Derek, give our tech dept a call 01827 300500 and ask for Steve, if anyone can help then it is him.

    But as mentioned before if your XP has been updated via service packs then it may not be possible to solve.

    Regards
    Nigel
