I had problems transfering an existing v8 site from my old XP machine to my new Vista machine. However, after some trials I found that the following steps solved all of the problems I had.
1. on your old pc create a site snapshot and also copy the \program files\actinic v8\sites\site1 folder - put both of these on a removable disk
2. download and install v8.5 onto your new Vista machine - use the reg. number suppled with your v8 disc (do not install the v8 disc)
3. import your saved snapshot
4. send the site1 folder from your removable disc into the actinc v8\sites\ folder on your new machine - ok all of the duplication prompts
Good Luck
