-The easiest way to copy it all except for the VPOP3\pgsql directory is often to copy everything, then delete the VPOP3\pgsql from the **new PC** after the copy has finished
+The easiest way to copy it all except for the VPOP3\pgsql directory is often to copy everything, then delete the VPOP3\pgsql from the **new PC** after the copy has finished.
+Also, do not copy any other 'pgsql' directories which may be left over from previous upgrades - eg 'pgsql83' or 'pgsql_v711upg'
 Note that if you are moving to Windows Vista/2008/7 or later, we **strongly** recommend that you do not copy the files to the 'Program Files' (or 'Program Files (x86)') folder on the new PC as that can cause problems for VPOP3, because Windows has restrictions on what can be put into these folders. (Maybe copy it to a **C:\VPOP3** folder instead)

+If you can't connect to the new installation and the IP address of the VPOP3 PC is not the same as the old one, then it's worth checking the Service Bindings in Services -> (service)
