Oyvey...
The Union, on the brink of destruction, was saved by a virus in the South?

We have to delete the saved games for each install, as we can't guarantee you are installing a save compatible game, which would leads to crashes upon opening the load game windows. Sorry about that. I'm unsure they are even in the trash

I would doublecheck the recycle bin but you might be out of luck, unfortunately.

Yeah, feels like War of the World, with Yours truly as Tom Cruise...
Maybe we could get Morgan Freeman to narrate a closing post?

Go to your main windows screen-the main computer screen with all the program icons. Locate the recycle bin icon-mine is the first one listed upper left. Then open and you will see all deleted files since you last emptied the recycle bin or since last automatically emptied.

I am talking about the very first screen after you start your computer. The screen with the shortcut icons for entering into various programs if you are using Windows XP. Somewhere in all those icons should be an icon titled recycle bin.
The recycle bin contains deleted files.

DirkX,
Jagger is talking about Your "Papierkorb" (the one on the screen, not the one under Your desk)...
