Try un-checking the copied files so they're not read only.

Here is from the FAQ: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Moving_cumulus

Which files did you copy? You need to copy all of the files. If you didn't copy them all, this probably explains why you didn't get any data downloaded from the logger, you've just confused Cumulus.

Best to follow the procedure that Jack has linked to.

If you have copied all of the files correctly, the most likely cause of the problem is that your system locale settings (date/time format, decimal and list separators etc) are not the same on the new PC as they were on the old one.

Dear steve

i copied only the "data & the Back up" folders only and replaced with the one existing in the new cumulus folders
should copy all folder and files existing on the old pc ?????????

That should normally be enough. Are your system date/time/etc settings the same on the new PC as on the old one?

If you zip up the diags folder I'll have a look.
