A sad day.I crashed computer killed DAZ

RayKat

Hi all,
I had a major computer meltdown.i tried everything I could think of to save DAZ and all my content but couldn't even get DAZ opened.Yeah,Yeah,I know ,backup,backup, backup.A lesson learned.
I eventually was forrced to do a complete fresh install of windows (XP Pro)knowing I would probably lose all of my data.After installing windows,when I went into explorer,It looked as though all of my content was still there.I thought maybe all the fils would be empty but they were all intact.ahhh short lived happiness.I tried to manually open DAZ but I got a message telling me that the msvcp100.dll file was missing and to try to reinstall the program.Well,i knoww the msvcp file is part of net framework and visual basic C++ so I downloaded all that stuff first but that didn't help so I reluctantly downloaded a new DIM and reinstalled DAZ.So now of course DAZ is like an empty concet hall...no nothing...but yet in explorer all my stuff is just sitting there.
I know i'm probably screwed but I figured I would post to you guys and see if any one had any ideas on my major screw up...and yes I know....I've allready downloaded sugarsync and I'm gonna backup everything..backup,backup,backup.
Is there any way in hell of getting any of my content back?i can load all the stuff I loaded through the DIM,but I had a ton of free stuff and such,that pains me to loose.I'm trying not to cry over it.It was after all my own fault,but ..DAMN!!the folders are all right thee...if I could just figure out a way to get them in DAZ everything would be great,but I fear that even though all my files are there I wont be able to retrieve them.Any ideas?Help....you folks have always helped me out a lot,so I'molling the dice one mo time.i was able to retrieve a few other things that i thought were lost as well and I'm hoping one of you might have some secret weapon insight.
i know I screwed up but,...it doesn't make it hurt any less...hoping for a miracle.
thanks guys and Gals,
Raykat....
i guess i should be lucky to have saved anything...

Go into Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager...remove any directories listed then add the ones where your content currently actually resides.

All is not lost! In DS.. go to Content Tab... click the icon in the top right (looks like lines), click Content Directory Manager (about 1/2 way down) and point DS to your folder. Do that for DS format and Poser format. IE: Mine would be C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Daz 3D\Studio\My Library. You should be all set!

Hope that helps :)

Edit: Jeez I type slow LOL but there you go :D

Sassy and mjc you both rock so hard!!!Thank you,thankl you,thank you!
I cannot tell you how happy you both have made me.I'm so glad i didn't lose everything.Everything is being backed up as we speak.
You'de both laugh if you knew the kind of computer I've been running DAZ on.Although I must admit ...it does get the job done.
I'm going to be building a new machine next month.Can't wait.....What am i using now you ask.A very old system i built myself......10 yrs ago..Ha!
Pentium 4 3.5 ghz ..el uno core on a asus motherboard with 4 gb of corsair ram...which is as much as you can put on the boad lol...an old geforce GT7950 video card. 500 gb seagate baracuda hd,sony dvd,and a creative labs 5.1 thx audio driver all going to a viewsonic 23 inchled...its old but it has served me wellbsides DAZ y other hobby is doing builds and mods for people who are hard core gamers and graphic freaks like us
my new systems going to be built around an x79 chipset using a core i7 4930k 3.4 ghz with 12mb of cache.i think it will chew up any of the haswell chips especially when it comes to endering.
thanks again you two....by the way,you are one fine looking wench lol......raykat
