My W10 computer has gone do-lally. It has required a fresh windows install. I think have all eaw stuff backed up, but it's going to be a faff putting everything back where it should be.

Well, at least you don't have to sit around the fire for the next week or so gazing at your navel.
FWIW, I have a dedicated 20 year old Dell PC with Windows Vista just for EAW. I think my wife is gonna have it buried with me, like the Vikings did with their dogs.

Re: Computer rukus
This a Dell, W10. I inherited it from Krys when she moved up to something better. It cost £1200 in 2012, was then specifically setup for graphic work.
Cross fingers, it has been performing okay since windows reinstall, but I'm still wary.
Most of data saved, including all EAW stuff. Biggest casualty is my internet links, 25 year's worth. The one thing that I hadn't backed up. Always something. Luckily have most passwords saved.

Re: Computer rukus
Got most of W10 computer back together again. Had to reinstall all those odd ocx etc files that make many eaw utilities work. Also managed to put in the updated and final driver for the Radeon video card. If I'm not mistaken, does the eaw horizen fog even better!
Missing many old internet links, but I'll looking through some older CD backups to see if I have them somewhere.

Yeah, we always think the world is gonna end when this happens and then..............it doesn't.
But that reminds me. I have to get the latest aircraft_inventory files up to the server before the world ends.

Oh and BTW, I actually have instructions for my wife to get hold of you for when my world ends. Hopefully not in the near future.
