Mega HELP Please. Lost Files?

[pcohen]

Hi everybody,

I have created myself a mega, mega PROBLEM!!!

I once had The CLS Model, Overland Simmers Sky and the Thomas Ruth Model Purchased some Years ago ?

However, Despite currently having Two Desktop Computers and two Laptops In the House I had a Document Folder called "registrations Codes" which I kept all my Registration Codes
and Passwoords In.

Guess what? I cannot find this file on any Computer or Laptop!!! STUPIDITY I guess on my part.

Looks like I'll have to repurchase a lot of games or call It a day.

Any help with this Please?

Many thanks

Paul,

Hi Paul,
Sorry, mate, but I can't see how any of us can help with this problem!

You mentioned two desktops and two laptops - do you have any off-line backups (ie external hard drives or USB sticks)? If so, can I assume you have checked them?

Cheers,
Ged

How did you go about looking for it? Did you manually look for it, or did you type in "registrations Codes" and search for the folder? If you know the name of a specific file in the folder search for the file...the folder could have gotten renamed somehow.

Well....... You might be SOL. 4 computers and no backups? Like R. Steele said above. Type in "registrations Codes" in your search bar. If any of your computers have it, you can find out where it got moved to. If you have made a practice of not backing up stuff, well, now you know why it's a good idea to do that.

EDIT: If you have all your sale receipts, (good idea to keep those AND back those up) vendors might send you the key codes. But it's a long shot, NOT a guarantee. 6 years ago, the computer I had at that time, I somehow lost all my BLW files. I had all my receipts as proof and Gaetan was able to cross check his records and send me replacement files. Having those receipts and being a long time steady customer made the difference.
