CodeWarrior Clean Install

As my laptop was getting slower and slower, I decided on a clean install of Windows 7. Of course I backed-up all my important data on my external hard disk, at least that's what I thought I did. Because when I tried to reinstall CodeWarrior 10.7, the workspace was empty, what a bummer! What am I missing?

Thank you

Hello Erwin,

Sorry for I'm not clearly know your meaning about " the workspace was empty" ,

the folder of "workspace" which the project saved ? Or workspace when open CW ?

Does the CW can not work well ? Or your original project disappeared ?

Dear Alice

Thank you for your mail, sorry if I was not clear enough.

When I start CW 10.7, it asks me to select a directory as a workspace,

the directory where my projects are stored.

In preparation for my Windows 7 Clean Install, I simply moved the

folders from my laptop to my external hard disk, and when I moved them

back, after the Clean Install, I realized that the workspace folder was

empty, my projects had disappeared.

Maybe simply moving folders back and forth was not a good enough idea.

For security reasons, I have two accounts on my laptop, an administrator

account, and a standard account. In principle I wanted to work with CW

on my standard account, but after noticing now and then some strange

behaviour, I have been using CW exclusively on my administrator account.

Does it make any difference to run CW on an administrator account or a

standard account?

BR

Erwin
