Hi there - Before I format my hard drive I did save
the USER/ folder wich contains the saved games...

Now, I reinstall it, replace the new USER folder with
the one I saved on a CDR, but for some reasons it
does crash...

Thanks 4 the help !! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Yes, just backup ya "users" dir. And then replace it with the new one created during an uninstall

Well as stated before, replacing the new USER/ folder from a fresh install with the previous one simply, do not work...

What are the minimal files to add or replace http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Thank you for your answerS - Thank you BIS http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Should have just saved the files alone....some games I just don't get it though....you save your game and there is nothing where it's installed so one time out of desperation I copied the whole game folder onto CD and when I reloaded I installed the game and the over ridded the folder with the old one...the game worked but were my saves there??? #### NO.......I have lost so much with my computer that it gets to the point where you say f**k it and set the game up on the shelve.....

Here's a hunch. Check to make sure that the files restored from the CD don't have the READ ONLY attribute checked on.

ThanX guyz...every single advice is wellcomed...

Anyone know if there is a whole campain file that I could
download somewhere...I like that game very much, but
still I'd like to avoid replaying each mission http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
