I don't think cloud8521 is joking, especially when you have Vista in your System Specs

Just make sure you get all your data. Make a checklist of all the programs you have installed and verify if any of them have data or settings worth saving (Outlook, .....)

how can i backup trillian and forte newsreader?

For Trillian
Go to C:\Program Files\Trillian\users\default and backup Buddies.xml (for contacts) and the Logs folder (for chat logs).
or you can just copy the whole C:\Program Files\Trillian folder. (you won't ecen have to reinstall. just copy it back and run trillian.exe)
Trillian Discussion Forums - View Single Post - Backup / Transfer Preference Settings?

For Fort'e Agent NewsReader
How do I back up my data (prior to an upgrade)?
To backup your Agent files prior to an upgrade, you need to open Windows Explorer and select the Agent directory. The default Agent directory is 'C:\Program Files\Agent'. Select the 'Agent' directory, and right click on it, then choose 'copy'. This will insure that all subdirectories are copied, including the data directory. Now change to a temporary holding directory where you will store your backup copy. Right click within this directory, and choose 'paste'. This will copy your entire Agent directory to this temporary location. If there are any issues with your upgrade, you can reverse the copy process and paste the Agent directory back into the original location to restore your copy of Agent to where it was prior to the upgrade.

Maybe 10 GB are taken by Restore Points.

Trillian and Forte for starters. Look in your programs folder for the rest. Plus in this day and age 10gb of space is not much, a few video clips and music files and 10Gb is gone!
BTW Still not sure what OS you are running, your profile says Vista but you talk of Win 7. perghaps you have both installed?

One additional point

due to the new security mechanisms incorporated into Windows 7 the instructions for the data locations for both Trillian and forte may not be accurate

In order to ensure security win7 is designed to not encorage the storage of user data under the Program Files tree. To ensure that older designed software still works win7 can redirect data locations to a safer user area during install.

To be sure that you have all of your data for these programs please check the contents of your user AppData and the system ProgramData folders for folders related to the applications

AppData is a hidden system folder under the users\usrname\...... tree
ProgramData is a hidden system folder under the root of the system drive

to see these folders you will need to show hidden files and to deselect the hide protected operating system files in explorer - (organise, folder and search options, view)

BTW ollie007, I'm probably going to hate myself for asking but what disaster will befall you in the stated 17 hours time?

Expiry of win7 rc 7100 - 2 hour shutdown phase

Not a total disaster but good policy not to get caught as the shutdowns will not save any live data

Nothing to drastic, I can assure you, it's just that it's helpful to know all the system details to better help solve an issue

It can be a disaster; starting today, RC build 7100 shuts down every two hours without saving the open data in any application, so depending on what you are doing it can be nothing or a total disaster.

is office still saving or they disabled it?

PS. is reformed noobhugger, you hate noobs now after having hugged them previously?? heheheh noob hugging is a crime?

According to information given by Microsoft, nothing is saved, so if you have any Office documents open it's very possible you lose them.

However, Office has quite sophisticated file recovery system and can often recover documents which were open when Windows crashed or computer lost power without first saving the data. It might work.
