Hi Dave,
It's very easy assuming the laptop is still working Hi

First install Log4om on the desktop computer, don't bother starting the program, just install it.

If you have been automatically saving backups you can find the latest backup file which will comprises three files

An ADIF file like 20150620095734_G4POP.adi

A config file like 20150620095734_config.xml

And a communicator config 20150620095734_CommunicatorConfig.xml

The two XML files contain your set up for log4om and can be used to overwrite the same files in the Log4om folder on the desktop having once removed the date/time stamp at the beginning of the file name so 20150620095734_config.xml becomes just config.xml

Now just locate the SQLite database file and copy that to the desktop into the same location

Start Log4om and all should work the same as the laptop (You might have to load the logbook by going to file/open database)

If you have problems give me a call and I will take you through it on Skype or the telephone
