How do I update my copy of NotePager Pro to the latest installation?

1) Using the Windows explorer, browse to the c:\program files\notepager pro\ directory.

2) In that directory, you should see a NPP.mdb file. If you have system set NOT to show you the extentions to file types, you'll see a file that is named NPP and the icon of the file will be a Microsoft Access File.

2a) If you want to view the extentions to files, which is highly recommended, you'll want to go to Tools -> Folder Options.

2b) In the Folder Options, go under the View Tab.

2c) UNCHECK "Hide extensions for known file types" and click on OK.

3) Make a copy of this file somewhere on your computer, preferrably to your My Documents folder or the root c:\, somwehere easily to remember.

4) After you've made a copy of the database, uninstall NotePager Pro.

5) During the installation, it will prompt you if you want to remove all files, tell it yes.

6) Reboot the computer.

7) Once the computer comes back up, you'll want to visit our website: http://www.notepage.net

8) Click on the Download button under the NotePager Pro section.

9) After the file has been downloaded, run it.

10) This will take you through the installation for the latest version of NotePager Pro, including any patches we've released since you originally installed the program.

11) After you install the latest version of NotePager Pro, run the program once. Skip or cancel all of the wizards it prompt you to, then close the program.

12) After you've closed the program, go back to your Windows Explorer.

13) Find the copy of the NPP.mdb file that you made, whether you put it in your root c:\ or My Documents folder.

14) Copy this file directly into the c:\program files\notepager pro\ directory. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the file, say yes.

15) Once you do that, run NotePager Pro again. Everything should be restored and fully functional.
