I don't think there is anyway around it, you COULD try installing the game again and then copying your old swg folder over top of your new one, but there are no garuntees.

Why not just run the game out of your second hard drive? Just map a shortut to your desktop and everything should work like normal. The only way something might be messed up is if the installer installs registry keys specifically pointing to the C drive or your original installation. Typically, games don't make registry edits.

Copying and pasting over top of a new installation may not work simply because the main executable has been rewritten so many times, its not funny. On the plus side, the launcher should scan your installation location for previously installed updates. This is in case you are downloading updtes, lose your internet connection, and must download the updates again. It allows you to pick up from where you left off instead of starting at the beginning each time. Like Lev said, there are no guarantees.

Btw, does anyone know when Nvidia is releasing their next set of drivers? I'm running the current beta set and I'd love to see what Nvidia has up their sleeves next as there are some serious issues with mpeg codecs in Vista and the Nvidia drivers (beta included)...

happened again... Wait a second, Lev you say your post count has dropped some too? Well then it must be for personal gain which could very likely mean Toor because you 2 are very close on total posts and I am next. If its not you Toor then its Apium!!! And if that be the case I hate you too Apium

Do we really need to discuss who is deleting posts in two different threads? and no I didn't delete any posts.

Leviathen · Post by **Leviathen** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:07 pm

I think its more likely that topics are finally dropping off the ends of the fourm pages, but that doesn't explain why only me and waucod are noticing

A. You haven't been a pain in the ass lately, which gives us more of a reason to trust you.

B. It's been confirmed by people beside you, which is another reason why we believe you.

C. We believe you, so don't ruin it for yourself and make us question our trust in you. lol
