    I just updated to 4.41 & lost all my options and preferences - how to restore?

    Hi
    I've used Iview for quite some time. I use it for about 75% of my image viewing/adjustment/managing needs. I just updated to Version 4.41 and find that all my options and preferences have been reset to default. I updated into my existing Iview folder, as I've done many times, but this is the first time I recall this happening. Is there any way to load or restore my preferences to their previous settings by loading an old pref file (I have a full backup only 2 days old) or copying a file into a specific folder?
    Thank you.

    . . . Is it because I updated to the 64 bit version?
    Should I swap back to the 32 bit version?
    I notice that the I_view64.ini seems to have a somewhat different organization than the I_view32.ini, so I assume that I can't just rename and copy last week's I_view32.ini over I_view64.ini.
    If I don't get a response here by tomorrow, I may just try that.

      You can (should) install both version. The 32-bit version is best unless you need to work with very large images.

        Thanks for the response - I finally uninstalled the 64 bit version, installed the 32 bit version, and copied my old I_view32.ini file from last Friday's backup into the folder. All as desired, now.
