If you moved everything to D:, you MUST edit by hitting Shift-F1. WP should load initially, but it will probably warn you of the fact that it cannot located some of the files it needs. By editing location of aux. files, you will be able to tell WP where your speller, print (.prs), thesaurus, etc., are located. This is what I do, and have done when I got another hard drive (for a friend's system) and moved WP to drive E:. If WP does not load at all (which is unlikely), then I don't know what to tell you.
