hello... I was able to move emoticons from XP machine to another XP
machine....(same msn account)

but now I want to move them from XP to Vista, and its a pain since all the
paths have changed!.. so I want to ask 3 questions

HOW TO MOVE:

From XP > Vista with live 8.1 on XP and 8.1 on Vista?
From XP > Vista with live 8.1 on XP and 8.5 on Vista?
From XP > Vista with live 8.5 on XP and 8.5 on Vista?

also I remember a program that did this (backup restore emoticons and
winks).. does that still work on vista and with live 8.5?
and what was its name?

thanks

Hi,

No reason it shouldn't work, although you can just copy the files over yourself with 8.1+.
Although the paths where the structure is stored is in a different spot from XP to Vista,
it's still the same structure for 8.1 and 8.5. I've moved stuff over fine.
