New Computer

[Diane P]

Hello,
I just installed eSignal 10.6 on a new computer. However, I can't find all my studies. Do they not transfer over?
Thanks,
Diane

EFS

Studies should be included in the formulas folder in the default eSignal directory. These may need to pulled manually from the older system and transfered using email or thumb drive

Thanks, Eric. I appreciate the help.

Can't Open Formulas

Hi,
I thought my problem was solved, but I guess not. I finally found the formulas file on this new computer, but when I clicked on any of the formulas, I get a message that says that windows can't open the file and that the file type is unknown. Can anyone help, please?

Thanks,
Diane

transferring formulas

Yeah you don't want to let windows open the files. Should be able to right click a chart within the eSignal program and then go down to formulas and then select the one you want to add to a chart.

If you are having this trouble when you are trying to transfer the formulas that's a different story. Again, you don't want to open the formulas but either attach them to an email or put them on a thumb drive to transfer them to the new computer.

Hi Eric,
OK - now I can add a formula to the chart, but I can't open the formula to make any changes.

within 10.6 you can click on tools at the top of the screen and then select EFS and then editor. From here you can click on the file open icon and navigate to the formula you would like to edit.

Thank You, Eric! That worked perfectly. Now I'm going to try to eMail my formulas from my other computer. Thanks again.

Hi Eric,
I have 2 formulas that I'm using as samples. I was able to get them on my desktop, but I can't navigate them to the formulas folder or to tools, efs. Any suggestions?
Thanks again ,

The fomulas have to be moved from your desktop to the formulas folder in the eSignal directory.

path: c:\Program File\eSignal\Formulas

Hi Eric,
I transfered all my formulas to the proper path. I can see them in the computer, but they won't come up in the formulas section on my charts. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Diane

If the new computer is running Windows 7 then you will have to place them in the virtual store as well. The path for that is as follows:

c:\users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files or Program Files(x86) if it's there\eSignal\Formulas

Keep in mind in order to see the "AppData" folder you will have to have hidden files visable. To do this, go to your C:\ drive, click on Organize in the upper left, click Folder and Search Options, click the View tab and put a bullet next to "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"

Hi Eric,

I Now have all my formulas and can apply them to my charts.
However, when I go to Tools and Open, I can't open any of the formulas to make changes. Can you help again? Thanks so much.

Did the formulas get moved? They should still be in this menu if they are still in the directories listed below

c:\program files\eSignal\Formulas and
c:\users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\eSignal\Formulas
