As a bit sad story, my gaming laptop decided to keel over...

Thus, no more updates in this AAR (obviously saves etc. are on that dead thingetybobber..)

Oh well, life goes on... 8-)

I am so sorry to hear that.

Hopefully it can be repaired. If not, there are some good sales at this time of year.

Ugh! I had the same happen to me a few years ago. Now I back-up occasionally. I did manage to get a few files extracted from the hard disk because the Geek Squad repair guys have software that can get it without reference to the Microsoft Windows system for file storage.

I'll get all the files out, will just cost extra.

This was 1800€ gaming laptop that I got a deal for 1400€, thus, annoys me bit more than usual. :? 8-)

Of course warranty has expired.

But...life goes on... And WitP-AE runs on this laptop too, just mot as smoothly.
