Well I get the idea from the fact that the only thing to change over the course of a few days was a vista service pack upgrade. It didn't even ask me if I wanted to do anything; just shut me down in the middle of another game and restarted. I lost that entire play session as well. Then it finished updating and 'bam'. Systemwide issues with every single game installed there that I have checked so far. I don't want to sound overly nerdy but thats 165 games (yes I just counted then). Actually I didn't count steam games, but thats about 6 games and just checked then; strangely they have not been affected at all. All the saves are intact...hmm?

Truth be told I have no idea how vista could do anything of the sort. Maybe its just reset some settings, maybe its moved some files around, or maybe the whole world is out to get me and is trying to shit on me. Who knows? I reckon its gone for good, and I can deal with that. I'll start again, the system itself is fine once you get used to its little tics and things. EB runs fine with minimal load-up time and almost no lag ever.

Anyway, no one else has had this happen, I consider my post answered.
