sorted problem out......it looks as if the 2.5.7 version holds the tournament directer folder in the my documents folder....as apposed to the older version holding it in the c:drive ,program files,the tournament directer folder....so all i did was copy and paste the orignal c:drive ,program files,the tournament directer folder into the new folder in the my documents folder...when asked replace all folders and overwrite them....fire up TD software and it should work.......for me anyway...
