has your computer died and you lost all your....

Has your computer died and caused you to loose all your coasters you worked f***ing hard on to post on wws, but are gone before you can?

Of course it has ... so let me teach you a new word: backup
It's not just for Administrators who know what they are doing.

I've had it also before, it really does suck, But back-upping can Save your computer [:)] Always backup, the most important lesson in ur life [:)]

How did you lose all your work? When I went a comp camp a few summers ago my comp just overheated. tch cheap pcs... I dont backup, never heard of a mac needing it.

Well, luckilly, it has never happened to me, but i have an iPod, so it will come in handy, backing up files.

It kinda happened to me on my old crappy windows 98 but I probably didn't even have NL back then, but did lose stuff for my other games. After that, I backed up very often, using zip disks, but I don't really back up anymore. Recently, I did make a disk full of my stuff to take to a friends house, but on CD's, you can't delete files, only overrite. When I got back, I got the idea of placin everything in a zip file but it was too late.

As for RCT3 files, tracks only take a few seconds to make so it's not that big a deal IMO (unless you've spent years on scenery, lol)

A good way to hep is make a small partition on your hard drive, 1 gig and smaller will do, so if your computer crashes you can get all the files etc. from the small partition you made, as you wont have to format that.

thanx that helps but the last time i put stuff on disk for back up was when i reimaged it or what ever, that was like 5 months ago. i think im skrewd. I think mabee some of my harddrive survived. do u think i could put it in a new computer?

it wont even start up!! it goes
beep.........beeep.....beep...beep.....beep bbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

No double posting man! I would get a computer engineer guy to look at the computer before you rush off and buy a new computer!

its never happened to me, because i save my work often so that if it ever does happen all my work wasnt lost.

If it only beeping like that it is one of two things:

Take your head of the keyboard or you have a mother board error.

Take it to someone who knows what they are doing and stop trying to be Mr. Fix It before it is broken
beyond all possibility of being repaired.

Take your head of the keyboard

I think he uses an other pc with less good frame rate, or a public pc.

Then you haven't been on the macs I have tried[;)]

This was before I had my new comp or backed up my RCT2 files. I had made my mum an awesome 4d coaster for her birthday, but I accidentally love it up royally by pressing the increase volume button (the old one had an increase volume button on the keyboard) and it awlays love it up while I was playing that. It even corrupted the saved game. Now I know better to make a back up of my RCT2 files, also this comp as a volume turn nob insted of a button.

My computer just experienced a complete hard drive meltdown, and I have lost every single file on it. Why do people write those f***ing computer viruses anyway? They need to f*** off and keep their hacking asses out of our f***ing business. What kind of sick bastards have so much free time that they have nothing better to do than make our lives miserable? I hate them.... I hate them.... I hate them....

i just got a new computer and it has windows XP. i put NL on it but when i try to get the updates to run, it says it cant find the original files or some shat and to reinstall them. WTF does that meen!

The older macs are the equivalent ot an older pc, but the newer macs are much more user friendly. Chances are you have used a mac from 2002 or earlier which are outdated, which can happen to anything. Plus the less cash you invest the less better the performance.

macs still don't support direct x so they're still crappy, crappy gaming comps. And how can you get any more user friendly than XP? An idiot can figure it out (an ex. is myself). SO basically, you can't get more user friendly.

It happened ones. And that will never come again.
