When you want to install, does it let you keep the saved games?

I am worried that I might have to start my character over again :confused: . Does it ask you if you want to keep the saved games? How do you back up files? Please replay ASAP please!!!:speech:

You backup saved games by copying them from the saved folder to somewhere else. Installing the game does not overwrite or delete any saved games.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a person does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses their intelligence.

Go to My Computer. Click on Local Disk (C) or whatever your hard drive is called. Go to Program Folders then find the Black Isle folder. Have a look in there and in the Baldur's Gate folder there should be a folder called saves or save or something like that. Right click on it and select copy. Open My Documents, go to edit and click paste. When you have re-installed, if your saves are not still there then go to my documents and copy the save folder back to the Baldur's Gate folder.
