[Gpg4win-users-en] Installing IDEA on Windows XP

[Jeffrey Rolland]

Hello, again,

Well, I finally go the old 7500 back together again, but it didn't work.
Evidently, my IDEA keys (which were made specifically so they could be
imported into PGP 2.6.2 on my 7500) cannot be read by MacPGP 2.6.2.

If anyone has any bright ideas about what (if anything) I am doing wrong
so that the keys won't import and can start me on the right path, I am
all ears. I am really sick of using IDEA keys right now. My public key
is attached if that will assist in diagnosing the problem.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely,
--
