PLEASE HELP ME!!!! RE. LOST CAREER

Akula17024 · 12-23-15, 12:53 PM

I was looking in the wrong folder...just realized to go to documents/sh3/data/cfg/career....I was going straight to c/sh3 etc etc....but anyways the career folder in documents is empty. I just dont understand why this happened. I have not touched any file relating to sh3 since the last time I played and no one else uses this comp. Very disapointed. How can it just disappear on its own? I hate all the bugs this game has!!!

Do you happen to have a normal user account? If so, when you run the game as administrator then Windows substitutes the Documents folder of the chosen administrator account. Maybe those files are in that/his Documents folder.

No really following you?

Are you the sole user on the computer? Can you install programs or change settings of the OS that have a shield symbol in the icon? Or does Windows User Account Control ask you for a password of a different user account?

If you are the only person that logs in on the computer then you probably have administrative rights on the computer. The first user account created when Windows is installed allways is. In that case my earlier question is moot.

On my pc, the first user account created when installing Windows I called admin and is obviously an administrative account for technical/maintenance tasks. With that I created a normal user account for my daily use that cannot do scary things on my computer that has those shield symbols on icons. Some may think it does not prevent malware from doing bad stuff on my pc, but I maintain it as a first line of defense for that, or myself doing silly stuff late in the night that I will regret later. It just has the drawback that I need to enter a password of the admin account when I need to do maintenance tasks on the pc.

If that does not ring a bell then forget what I asked.
