middleson, follow their instructions to get your game copied over and set back up. The only thing I will add is that the backup procedure can be much less time-consuming (copying all those thousands of text files from PC to USB must take a ton of time).

The reason is this (and this is what I do): When the backup is done, you can use WinZip to zip down that folder into one compressed file. Copying that zip file from your PC to the flash drive is much faster. Should anything happen again, you copy it back to your hard drive, unzip it where it's supposed to go, and your game is back in action.
Question for you sir: When using the backup system, is any of the detail or files lost because it seems to go awfully quick, so I'm wondering if anything gets lost. Or is it like when you go to delete a game.lg file within the game and it goes lickety splitzky versus doing it within the saved_games folder when it takes...seemingly...for...ever and it just happens to be Speedy Gonzalez without losing any files/data. Thanks.
