just caught and killed some kinda bug on my laptop. only problem is all my work and d/l's of the last two weeks is gone as well. @ EricJ : a couple of days ago you put a file in a thread helping out someone with graphics issues but i can't recall the name of the file or thread to go find it. it had worked best to boost my fps and right now its gone. i would really appreciate a repost of that file. @everyone else at least i saved most of my downloads on thumbdrive but i hadn't saved the planes i converted over yet. can i scream now?

oh another note once the laptop sorted its self all lods bmps effect ini and wavs for my birds older than 2 aug on the comp are still there. all ini, loadout data etc are gone. as i write this i'm in process of unzippin off thumbdrive and replacing the affected planes. thought you all might be interested.

Here you go man. If you're deployed, best recommendation is order an external hard drive from Amazon.com.... It's saved me a few times as well out there, when there's no hope of backup and when stuff goes in the pot from MWR...

i appreciate it. wifes sendin me an external next month an i usually back up on thumb drive on sundays. computer bugs don't seem to keep with the schedules though. also gotta start putting my converted birds back into zip archive since that was the bulk of my headache. at least i know what i'm doing this time around better than when i started. thanks again.

Yeah unfortunately I learned the hard way too when I had all my texture work on the computer and caught a bug... Obviously nothing pretty anymore, but I learned too, so the next time (even back in the states) when I lose the comp, its not a real hit. An annoyance but nothing to cry over anymore. And no problem
