My 5 year old thought he would play fish tycoon on his own and has deleted all the users. I exited. Have I lost everything or is there a way to restire the games?

Since the savegame files are deleted immediately, it really doesn't matter whether you exited or not. Unless you had backed those files up, your games are gone.

To guard against that sort of thing happening again (I have 3 young grandsons ), you can periodically copy the files FishSaveGame1.pts through FishSaveGame5.pts (they are usually in \Program Files\Fish Tycoon) to a safe place elsewhere on your hard drive. That way, if the games get deleted again, you can copy those files back into the Fish Tycoon folder.

mariefish, if you have not synced your palm after your 5 year old deleted the users, they will still be on your computer. Look under prgrgams/palm/USERNAME/ backup for a file called savegame. If you double click on it, it should copy it to your palm. If you already synced, look anyway, it might still be there.

I'm pretty sure that she's playing the Windows version of the game.

Apologies I am playing the Windows version.

Oh dear - I still love him despite losing 5 magic fish... (goodbye golden guppy) and will back up in future

Thank you for your help

Maibe it is a chance...
With an app called PC inspector file recovery try to recover the .pts files!
