Restoring player folder

[coffeeteaorme]

I have saved my player file and, once again, opened up MTE and am back to the "New Player" sign in. Thought I was finally "so smart" -- only took me 7 years to go to Forum and see that this wasn't a unique problem -- but now I can't figure out how to get the player folder back into the game so that I recover all my lost history. One time I made it all the way to Dog before crashing.
Woe is me!

Hi there, all you do is go back into the main MTE folder to where you originally backed up the player folder and copy your saved one in there. It will ask you if you want to replace the one in there and you simply say yes. That will overwrite the new folder with your saved one. Remember to back it up regularly so, if it happens again, you're only losing a day or two's play.

Any other probs just give us a shout.

Hello from Rich. I haven't written to any one here in a long time. Now I need to. Can you show me the steps for saving the files and how to put them back on to keep the new ones? I used to have this saved showing the steps for both parts and now I have to save all over again. Can't find my directions!!! I used to do it from nite to nite on a floppy for each day of the week. I have to do some hunting for a few new floppys cuz a few I had are messed up and can't even reformat them. Have a good one ang thanx 4any reply. Rich
