"No suitable backend was found for file:.....

[Brett Sutherland]

The current version is: GnuCash 2.4.5
The previous version is unknown. However, the executable date is 10/5/2009
and the readme is 2/23/2009
The path for the files is the previous OS drive E:\Documents and
Settings\Brett Sutherland\.gnucash\books

Does that help? Thanks.
