Does anybody else use that computer?

No, the only other person here is 5 months old and I left him in the room while I went to get his clothes, but I dont think he got up and did anything while I was gone, he was in the same place I left him when I got back in the room.

Yeah, he probably didn't do anything to your game. I've asked Arthur to have a look at this to see if he has any suggestions.

I couldn't see where the villagers were renamed. I saw where a different game was loaded and they had new names though. What I thought was the same thing LadyCFII thought, that you switched to another slot (which is ok to do).

Just to help sort this out, are you running the games at the same time in different windows? I'm not sure even if this is possible, but I think I have heard of others running multiple games simultaneously. Perhaps they just were referring to those games that were not paused before they were exited (and hence they appear to have been running when resumed at a later time).

Is there anything you can think of that may have been unusual or out of the ordinary that might help track down and fix this?

Lastly, and this is a long shot, when was the last time your computer ran an antivirus sweep? Do you use AVG or Norton or.. ?

I do think he is an exceptional child but I dont think hes running up and getting on the PC when I turn my back.

IM ONLY RUNNING ONE GAME, PERIOD.

My viruscan runs daily, and is updated daily. I never play w/ more than one village this village started by itself and mine disappeared.

AVG

Where is the post where somebody else is having this issue?

Beth, we want to continue exploring this problem. Can I email you?

We can then just post the final result here, for others to benefit from.
