Restoring Simply Accounting 2008 from backup on new computer

Posted By

Hi.  I've been using Simply accounting 2008 on an older computer.  I just got a new computer and installed the 2008 SA but the backup file won't restore my data.  I've checked the backup file on another older computer and it is good.  When I ask it to restore on the new computer it runs through the usual steps and then just goes back to the start up window instead of loading the files.  Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • This could be a problem with the Operating System you are using on the new computer. Sage 2008 was tested for the Microsoft Windows that was current and two or three back but obviously could not be tested for an OS that was developed over the next 13 years. If you have just purchased the new computer it probably has Windows 10. Sometimes Simply Accounting has worked but no guarantees.
