Thanks Walter and John.  I did read Terry's Tips.  It seems that installing TMG using the execute file for v9.05 should be my first step.  So I will go the restore route.  The program will do the rest, including my preferences according to the file structure of the new computer.  It doesn't matter to me where the installation places the projects and files.  Then for SS, I will need to set the database from the new location. Did I leave out anything? Bud

Bud, You mentioned SS. Do the install of TMG first, and verify that it is working properly before you install either TMG Utility or SS. When TMG is all set, see the instructions here for SS: http://ss.johncardinal.com/transfer.htm John
