Hil,
I just upgraded my computer to Windows 7 64bits and installed the last beta Mar-24-2014.

As I usually do, I have copied my special command scripts from the previous beta commands subfolder' but none of them show up in the Option- Sortcut keys list.

I have tried :
1. To run Moi3D as administrator without success;
2. To allow a special permission to Avast anti-virus;
3. To run in XP mode.

To no avail, I start Moi3d and none of my script are listed and operative.

Any idea how I should go about this problem?
Gaston

Hi Gaston,

Your shortcuts are written to the MoI.ini file, before you upgraded did you make a copy of this file, It's usually by default in a hidden diectory, in XP it would of been C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Moi and in WIN7 it's in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Moi.

If you didn't save the ini file then you'll have to enter them back in the MoI options, because the new install of MoI would of written a new ini file on your fresh install of the operating system if a previous Moi.ini file didn't exist.

Hi Gaston, yes like Danny write above the shortcut key definitions are stored in moi.ini so you'll want to copy that file over into the new Windows installation's equivalent spot in order for those settings to come over.

If you did an "in place" upgrade from XP to Win7, it looks like your old AppData folder might be available under a c:\Windows.old directory, so check if you can find a file under something like: c:\Windows.old\Users\<username>\Application Data\Moi\moi.ini

and then copy that moi.ini file over to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Moi\moi.ini - you'll have a new one in place there since if it's not found it will create a new one when you first ran the new beta. Overwrite that newly created one with your previous one from XP and then you should get your shortcut keys back again.

Hi Danny,
Bingo :)
I replaced the new moi.ini file with the previous beta one.
I just hope that I didn't break anything in the new beta by simply replacing its moi.ini.

Thanks,
Gaston

Hi Michael,
Good to know. In this case I have installed windows 7 on a separate disk so everything was left unaltered.
Thanks,
Gaston

Nope, that won't break anything, it should be fine to do that.

Oh but make sure you have closed MoI before you do any .ini file copying around.
