> New installation of TB12 WIN7

With newly created profile by Tb 12? Or with profile created by older Tb version?

> works with WINXP on old system

With same Tb 12 and same Tb's profile as one used by Tb on Win7? (profile which was copied to Win7)

Is error messages in bug 754780 comment #0 shown at Tools/Error Console?

I copied my profile from an XP system to a new WIN7 system.  Old System was TB11.
This is what error console says (there is much more like this)

2012-05-22 08:35:24	gloda.datastore	ERROR	Unexpected error when trying to open the database: ReferenceError: aDBFile is not defined

Same error message as bug 754780.

> Old System was TB11.

Did you touch the profile by Tb 9(or older) between (1) Daily use of the profile on Win XP, (2) Copy the profile to Win 7, (3) Recent use of the copied profile by Tb 12.0.1 on Win 7?

If profile was copied & used by Tb 11/Tb 12 only after last use of the profile by Tb 11 on Win-XP, it may be that global-messages-db.sqlite was somehow broken by Tb 11 or Tb 12.0.0.

Anyway, if you need Global Search in Tb 12.0.1 ASAP, delete global-messages-db.sqlite, restart Tb, and wait for completion of re-indexing by Gloda.
