hi

is it ok ti install the same game twice on the same system but at the same time (in diff dir's) i would try it but i dont wanna mess anything up or cause some sort of conflict

the reason i ask is i already have the game installed (N.F.S.U) and i dont want to uninstall it cos im 107/111 races into it
but the system needs cleaning and 4 some reason when i burn large bin files the writer messes up and the only way to test the cd is to install the game from it

Thanx in advance

Backup your save files. It probably won't delete them in a reinstall anyway.

I think they might be stored in My Documents or something. I installed a savegame file so they must be somewhere. Can't remember right now though :)

Got hidden files turned on? That may be it.

You prolly have to unhide all your folders from Folder Options because most of the stuff in D&S is hidden.
