Help please.
I have a catalog of about 10,000 photos backed up onto 14 DVD's, created on Elements 5.0 from an old laptop running Vista. I am trying to restore that catalog onto a new PC running Windows 8.1, using Elements 12.0. When I try to restore, after I answer the popups regarding different destination files, it will run through the first DVD until it reaches 97% and then seems to freeze (with the circle spinning, but the DVD drive and hard drive do not seem to be active). I've tried it at least 3 times and it always stops at the same point.
Unless I can figure out how to trouble shoot this, it seems my only other options are to load 12.0 onto the old lap tap and then try to back up all photos to an external drive, or do the same using Windows tools, as I have a secondary issue that my 5.0 organizer will not open on the lap top.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
