Transfer from PC to PC

[Hammerfest]

Hello,
is there a way to transfer a complete running Links2003 from one PC to another without new install procedure?
Just got a PC with a better graphic card than the one I used for Links 2003 until now.
Links is on the "old" PC in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Links 2003 with all dll´s, idb´s or exe´s.
Any tip to avoid endless loading?

Don't think you can just bring game over, could copy saved shots, player ani's and other files.

Yeah like the course file. The endless loading one
About a decade ago i bought a external 1 terabyte harddrive. It has been a invaluable tool for loading new computers.

I've reinstalled Links quite a few times over the years from my original disks, and I don't think it's ever taken more than 5 or 10 mins., even with all the patches. But as stated, courses can take a long time to load, so wherever you have them located, depending on how many, they can take a while to transfer.
Having said that, I have copied all the Links folders and files from a desktop over to a laptop, and even though I was told this wouldn't work, it ran perfectly fine and still does. I guess there's only one way to find out. Give it a shot.

first of all, sorry. I forgot to tell you that all the courses are on another HD, That´s not the problem lol.
Naaa, I only asked for a possible and simple solution to bring the program files for Links2k3 from
PC A to PC B.

@ rwoods: i did what you wrote and gave it a chance. Procedure like you described it and >> successfull !!!
The program is running on PC B now. I´ve only to give it a link to the courses on the extern HD.

Tnx to all for the communication. Everything was helpfull to bring my brain forward lol.
