I have just done a similar operation very successfully (W2000 Pro, TP
5.01).  I copied all my Turnpike folder to the new computer (can't
remember whether I had to change its paths), then reinstalled TP 5.01 on
top of itself.  Everything worked like a charm except that I don't hear
the modem making connection - which sounds a bit like part of your
experience.
