I have decided to add SSD hard drive to my computer. My question is that now i have command in regular drive and
would like to transfer it to faster drive, how is it done? Can i just copy game files to new drive or should i uninstall the game and then install it to new drive? I have matrix-version, not steam.

If new installation do i get link from matrix to download?

I'm not that great with computers so any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Re installing would cause less problems. I'm not sure how to go about re-downloading from Matrix (I use steam)

Michael7619,

Just an FYI. I experimented with moving and running CMANO on different drives. Originally I had installed it on a standard hard drive. I moved all the files, about 13GB, to another hard drive and it ran perfectly from there. I then moved it to a new solid state drive with no problems. Finally I moved all the files to a RAM drive and again it worked fine. The Windows registry does not seem to care where CMANO is when it runs - one install and three moves - no problem.

Stilesw,

I moved all command files from hard drive to ssd. Short test and i seems that command runs fine. I don't think that i have to uninstall and the reinstall command.
Thank you very much. Also own made scenarios and couple of hundred my own database pictures come easily this way.

Regards
