Thank you both. I think I have got the message now; never overwrite old saves, better to delete and then save to the same name if you want - that would be OK - zat right??
Yes, know about the don't change mods thing, been observing that since sh3 days and always start afresh from Port when a major change occurs.
I am optimistic that when I go back into TMO, and follow these rules, I will not have any further unhappy experiences. Cheers chaps - you are all stars!!
