      @wellenreiter Hi wellenreiter, no have still not put info from my USB stick into appdata, as it seemed pointless with no wallet address. The info from my USB stick is now on my desktop…regards, Alan

          Just copy your backup (wallet.dat) into My Computer C: \ Decuments and Settings \ youruser \ %appdata% \ Feathercoin

          and replace there the wallet.dat - start up the feathercoin-qt (.exe) application and log in …

          I don’t use windows tho’

              My Computer…C drive…programmes…feathercoin

              Try this : Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:

              %APPDATA%\Feathercoin

              If that don’t work ask your admin. Those directories could be hidden by your Admin.

              also check again in explorer, my fault typo? :

              C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\ %APPDATA% \ Feathercoin ( XP )

              C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Feathercoin (Vista and 7)

                If you haven’t run the program yet the directory won’t exist.

                When you run feathercoin-qt.exe :

                You should choose to put the wallet in a directory on the C: drive

                instead of the default directory in Users …

                A directory you have access to (I suggest c:\wallets\ ) You can then find that folder easily to copy in the back-up wallet.dat.

                    Well done. If you are copying the backup in then paste did it say are you sure you want to copy over wallet.dat?

                    P.S. you can also give kudos by up voting posts, the up arrow at the bottom right.

                          You should see a different date for the new (backup) file?

                          You haven’t described what you have done enough to know if you have done it correctly

                          Opened explorer found and opened the USB, right clicked on wallet.dat, chose copy from the menu

                          then in file explorer --opened C:\users\youruser\ %APPDATA% \ roaming found Feathercoin

                          Clicked on that folder and pasted the backup wallet.dat file - are you sure you want to over write wallet.dat? then clicked yes. Then restarted feathercoin-qt.exe

                          later - gotta go.

                            @wrapper Hi wrapper, it all seems to have gone wrong. I pasted USB stick info into wallet, and then feathercoin app would not open saying… wallet corrupt…then tried to start again by uninstalling everything and re installing .But it just keeps saying wallet corrupt. Tried this a few times, changed browsers etc but to no avail…Alan

                              @harmoye22 Did you copyed all files over or just the wallet.dat?

                              You should only paste the wallet.dat into the directory.

                                  Fraid we can’t diagnose whats up without seeing it, running blind here. You can fix currupt wallets (if that is the problem) or extract the keys. You will need someone with more computer knowledge to help.

                                            @mamoonfarooq Tbh i don’t even know if there is a miner for Intel HD Graphics. But even if there would be one you shouldn’t use it if you have to pay for electricity. The electricity costs would be higher than the payout so you wouln’t gain any money. The intel gpu is very weak.
