Touche. Serves me right for teasing you about Pirate talk.
I usually do rename the old folder, but thought a cleaner installation
might get over that slow loading problem I'd had. (it hasn't!)
As for backing up - yes of course, but..... ie the same old story
Thanks,
Mike

The standard J installation puts ~user outside of ~install so as to
preserve it on uninstall.
Also, we only suggested a reinstall. J does not touch the registry, so the
easy thing to do is rename the old J802 folder as a backup before
installing again.
BTW, backing up every few weeks is asking for trouble. Why not backup every
day?

I took you at your word and uninstalled J802 ready to reinstall from
scratch, taking the precaution of renaming user as user802 so it wouldn't
get overwritten or deleted. I did consider setting it as read-only but
thought better of it. Admittedly, my user folder sits under j802 rather
than in j802-user or whatever.
To my horror, I saw all user802 files and folders deleted. Luckily I do
have a back-up disk which is a few weeks old, but I've lost all recent
stuff.
Luckily (!?) I was smart enough to copy addons and profile....ijs to
another area, to save time reinstating them later.
I thought (obviously wrongly) that uninstalls usually left user-defined
files and folders untouched.
It might be worth warning other users of this feature.
Now to see what goes wrong with install...

Please try reinstalling from scratch, thanks.
