Hi,

Due to a virus followed by a partition error, I had to reformat my windows drive and reinstall a new one. My games are installed on another partition though, and I'm somehow able to play the game from there without having reinstalled it. I also went through my windows system directories and saved what i needed to keep from there (%documents% points to another drive, but lots of apps put stuff in %user%/appdata etc.), so I believe i would have noticed if i had WoG stuff in there to be saved.

Now all my profiles have been lost and it only lets me start from scratch and create 3 new profiles.
Is there a way to recover my lost ID and 1000ish goo balls?

Thanks!

Thanks for the answer Matt.
I guess i'll have to replay the whole game then. Oh well, i've had worst things to do :)
