Download a new copy of RPG Maker. Install it to a different location than you did last time. Open your game and try compiling it.

I would provide others from other sites, where I asked what the difference between a JPG and a JPEG are, where I asked why everything I wrote was capitalized (turned out to be caps lock) and when I asked what "Compiling" meant and deleted my partitions, but I won't.

Sod it, I give up. I can't find the @#%$ problem, no one seems to make any sense when they explain to me their ways of fixing it and its' irrelevant because they don't work anyways, and now the game seems to have deleted itself.

I will now beat my head on a wall until I draw blood. Seriously, thats' less painful then working out this @#%$.

Everyone has to learn the hard way, I suppose. In the future, always keep a double copy of your work. Backup every time you feel that you've done a good bit. Keep an off-site backup in case of fire.

A little trick I learned was to buy an external hard drive, hook it up and have Windows automatically copy all my important files over to that hard drive every evening, when I'm eating supper. It's painless, and if there's ever a fire or some disaster I can grab that drive and run, and be able to get back to work as soon as I find a functioning computer.

No, wait, its' ok. I replaced the ruined file with one from another game.

I am DEFINETLY taking your advice and backing it up.

When you have as much important (read: work related) stuff on my computer, one does frequent backups.

Sure, sure.

I just have trouble imagining, now matter how much work you do on your computer, anyone saying:

"Oh my god, there's a fire! Grab the dog and wake up your brother, I have to go backup my DNS and lock down my CMOD on the CPU! Oh my god! My PSDs! Oh woe is me!"
