RM togo difficulties

by Jane

Jun 17, 2010

Transferred one of my files to ToGo and added data onsite.  Now I'm home and my laptop can't find anything.  I have no option of "Transfer" only search for files and it is looking on my C drive to open in ToGo!  How do I sync these files??  I tried to open the laptop version and Import from the travel drive, but that is not an option and when I tried to say "I know where the files are" I got a message "LINKINFO.dll is not designed to run on Windows" and have to end program.
Also, the online message board will not accept my registration.  I'm wondering if this is worth it?
Help, pleaase, Help!!

    I use togo on my laptop, and RM4 on my desktop. Togo ALWAYS tries to save my data on the C drive on my laptop. So I have to be sure to change the location to the usb drive everytime I close it. If I am not careful, it will be on the C drive and NOT on the usb drive. I would think that is something that could be fixed in a future RM update, because it is a pain.

    Do you have a "RootsMagic To Go" shortcut on the desktop?

      Jane:

      How are you using RootsMagic To-Go? You mention transferring your files to "togo". But RootsMagic To-Go is just a little utility program that stays on your desktop computer. It installs RootsMagic (the full program) on the flash drive. It also copies your files from your computer to your flash drive (and then back when you get home).

      Linda:

      Do you have RootsMagic installed on your laptop? RootsMagic To-Go isn't for copying files back and forth between 2 computers that both have RM already installed. It is for being able to run RootsMagic on a computer that *doesn't* have RootsMagic already installed on it.

      If you are just trying to copy files back and forth between your desktop and laptop, you should use Backup and Restore to copy the file back and forth between the 2 computers.
