Ya know what? it's true what they say...

Back up your files before upgrading your OS!

let's start at the beginning of this leason..

-Last Week, I moved my EQ files over to my C drive because my secondary drive was getting alittle crowded and I thought the game may run better from the primary drive.
-Tonight I decided to try the WindowsVista update I got with my new computer (express upgrade, came with XP): of course, Vista not working too good with my SLI 1gb video card. Getting the Bluescreen of Death for the first time since win98!
-Oh Well.. time to format the drive and go back to WinXP
-Wait, did I mention that I moved all my EQ files to the C drive? DOH!!
-Format the C drive and remember about my EQ files ONLY AFTERward - all gone, including my original Photoshop (PSD) graphic files for my UI design (beats head against rock).

Oh well
If I need to do any design work outside of what I've already done, I guess I start over from stratch.
