Hi Pete
Thanks I will do the reinstall this evening and try the tweak website. My problem is I'm a computer donk, trainz is the only game I've ever played. I retired ( luckily at 40 ) and computers were not really standard to me, so agter turning it on my knowledge sort of stops !!! So I really appreciate your help.
Should I only back up ( save ) the local folder and can safely delete the rest ? I obviously have much work that I don't want to lose.
Cheers
PJ
Hi PJ,
Yes and No,
If you can, back up your local folder (I assume your talking about Trainz) to a CD or DVD (depending on file sizes), or a memory stick if available. If anything unfortunate happens to your computer, a fatal virus for example, then your creations are safe.
If this isn't possible, no CD/DVD writer, right click any empty area on your desktop (Not on a File) select new and then folder, give your new folder a name and back up to that folder. To do this you can use the copy - paste method.
Left click on a blank space above the files you want to copy and drag the cursor over every file you want to save. This will highlight the files. Once highlighted release the left mouse button and right click anywhere in the highlighted area and select 'Copy'. Move the cursor to your new folder (You don't have to open it) right click and select 'Paste'. This will copy the selected files to your new folder.
If you know how, you can use the 'Drag and Drop' for the same results, this takes longer to explain and could lead to confusion if your not familiar with computers.
If you have a CD/DVD writer you can use the same method, except paste to your CD/DVD writer. Available in 'My Computer' which is normally a default icon on your desktop. Alternatively, if you have a CD/DVD burner program (such as Sonic') you can use that.
Don't go deleting files willy-nilly or you may delete a file needed by Windows, and its a lot of work getting it back.
If you are using Tweak' you can safely delete the 'Safe to Delete' folder and any entry regarding Trainz.
AFTER you have carried out the above.
As I don't know the extent of your computer knowledge I apologize if I've covered area's already known to you.
If you require more help, I here at least once-a-day.
Cheers
Pete.
