Can't you do a recovery of some sort. I think there are programs aout there to help with that.

I am sad to hear about the panel work being lost, i really am, just hope you can get it back together.

As to the firewall and stuff do you have one you bought? Frankly i don't find free online firewalls real protection. Mine--and i am not afraid to say so--is McAfee VirusScan which came with the firewall. I've found it very reliable, but what does that matter? Lips Sealed

Glad to have you back John Grin Cheesy Smiley 8)


I did a system restore but the last restore point I had was about 3 weeks ago. Didn't help much unfortunately.

The firewall is academic in this instance. The damage was done by my son sat at the keyboard. I do have a `paid for` variety of firewall though.

I'll get the panel done. It's just going to to take some time obviously. Right now, my priority is restoring my software, primarily FS2002 of course. Smiley

Thanks to all who have posted such kind comments. Smiley

If you mean setting it to do it automatically, I've no idea how to do it if it's possible.

You can do it manually by simply running system restore and selecting "Create a restore point". Be aware that these points take up a LOT of hard drive space.

You can adjust the amount available to it in the System Restore settings, but doing it every 48 hours is going to eat up major amounts of space.

Just to share the misery around, I'm sure you'll all be interested to know I lost a 60 GB hard-drive on Friday
4th May and it's replacement went 1 week later on the
11th May.     Second time I lost the lot.    Boy, the FlightSim is a lot faster in standard default mode without 3 Gigabytes of addons.     I also had to replace the keyboard, the salt tears rusted it out.     My wife and my dog have left town.    Anyone want to take bets on how long HD NO. 3 will last ?
