Please help!

I'm trying to back up my game files for VF. Have followed the directions in post about backing up files. Can't get it to copy files - made a back up file called VF Backup in Documents, but when I did Select All, the files I wanted to copy were just copied there in the VF files list and didn't ask me where I wanted them copied to. Tried Paste as well, and it did this but named each one ldwlog - don't dare ever replace my games with one of these because who knows what I'd get? Could someone please tell me what to do - I'm running Vista Basic.

Thanks,

P.S. Sorry, wrong forum, but guess it applies to all games! Also, can I save these backups to disk? Had my whole hard drive wiped and lost all my LDW games.

First, make sure your games are paused before you copy them to backup. This will ensure that your backup is frozen in time (and isn't moving forward).

You should select all, copy, then navigate to the VF Backups folder and paste. It will not ask you where to copy them to, you have to do it manually.

The save game files as well as the installer can be copied to a CD or flash drive for safekeeping. You can consult the Windows help files for the appropriate information on the procedures to create a backup CD.

Thank you so much Heather, also for the speed of your reply. Sometimes I get so flustered with computer things I can't apply common sense anymore! It seems to have worked.
