Change of Address 2

When you install a program in Windows, the system builds a web of connections that makes moving the program very difficult. If disk space constraints force a move, or if adding a new device causes drive letters to change, the system can lose track of essential files.

How to fix the Windows 7/Windows Vista crash:

While the message saying it has crashed is still on screen, open another instance of the program. It will look like nothing has happened. Now click the close option on the error message - POOF! The program resumes as if it never had that error! Tested extensively on my Windows 7 Ultimate desktop, and all shortcut, ini, and registry entry were correctly set to the new location so this app still works!

Also, even if you just let it fully crash out the changes still seem to have been made correctly, but you won't get the summery and chance to create the detail report (which lets you review and undo changes).

What is Change of Address 2?

When you install a program in Windows, the system builds a web of connections that makes moving the program very difficult. If disk space constraints force a move, or if adding a new device causes drive letters to change, the system can lose track of essential files. References to the program are stored in shortcuts, INI files, and the system Registry. COA2, an update of our Change of Address utility, tracks down all references to the old address and replaces them with the new address. When the changes are complete, the utility presents you with a list of changes and gives you the option to undo any of them. Note that COA2 does not actually move any files. It reports moves and name changes to the system. This new version offers Windows 2000 support and an improved user interface. COA2 runs under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. The Delphi 5 source code is provided with the utility for those interested in seeing how it works.

This program was formerly freeware from pc magazine.
