Go to My documents. You will find a file called SH3.
This file contains all your save games and careers.
Copy and paste this and rename and there you have a backup copy of your saves and careers.:up:
When you reintall everything just load the game once then exit then copy your backup file over the new sh3 file that the game made in My Documents.

When you've reinstalled everything why don't you back the whole game up (providing you have the room of course)....You'll save so much hard work in the future that way :arrgh!:

Thinking Jim.
Also you could burn GWX and all your mods to Disc that way you will never lose them:up:

I keep a copy of my patched and modded 'Data' folder in a separate place. I've had no problem reloading the game and then installing that one.
