Further to my last mail...

Have you read the FAQs etc on the LOTW site? In particular the news 
item of Dec 29 2004 which tells you how to generate a .p12 file. 
Basically open TQSLCERT and click on your certificate and select 
save, which will generate a .p12 version of your certificate. Then on 
the new machine select the file/load option which will allow you to 
import the .p12 file.
