So you feel like you are somehow entitled to circumvent the rules simply because you do not want to follow the same process everyone else has to follow? |

Probably you'll have to do them all over again, sorry. I know how annoying that can be.

For future reference, is there any way to back the UI up and save the settings in case this happens to me?

Of course he does. Just like the guy cutting in front of you in a traffic jam. Depending on where you live everyone does this, so it turns a normal intersection into a nightmare. Self-fulfilling prophecy - I will cut in line to avoid traffic, which creates the traffic in the first place.

To try and help you 
This assumes you are using Windows 7 but you can find some settings in similar places in XP;
Most of the game settings like your user login details and the cache files are found here;
C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE
Note AppData is a hidden folder so you can either turn on hidden folders or type in the path directly to find it.
Your overview settings are stored in xml format in an Eve folder in your My Documents folder.
The xml files can be edited if they are corrupt (I use Notepad++ to edit them if required). Your logs, personal saved fittings and such like are also here.
Hope you find your files ok.

You should find your settings folder in
C:\Users\[Computer Name]\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE
There you should see a folder with the name that is the same as the path of your EVE TQ install. You may have to rename it if it's gotten messed up.

Thanks !
Like other people have mentioned, most of your settings are saved in "%localappdata%\ccp\EVE" if you're using Windows7. Hopefully you are.
Navigate to that location in Windows Explorer and right-click in an empty area in the folder (so... not on an icon). Click Properties and then click "Previous Versions" tab. Wait a bit for it to load, and hopefully you will have incremental backups of that location for up to 6 weeks.
Double-click on an entry that predates your crash and then copy your old settings from the backup to the settings folder. You can restore single files or the whole folder at once.
Good luck. |

Thanks for your help !
There's a .yaml file there ... but that doesn't seem related.
There are a few .dat files, but not in ASCII.
There are no previous versions saved for that folder ...
Oh well ... no luck i guess ....
Thanks everybody !!

Quite often when the client hiccups and next login demands agreeing to the eula, i just close the client and try again and it's often 'remembered' my settings.

May help backing-up (also handy for cloning settings to all your characters and accounts):
Locating the files: http://support.eveonline.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=371
core_char_*.dat (the numbers are the character ID)
core_user_*.dat (the numbers are the account ID)
Only way I know to figure out the character IDs is to look at the EVEmon settings file (XML) for < characterID >, or by a process of elimination. |

I really have *no* idea. It's a brand new machine, three weeks old.
What's odd is the fact that, at the exact same time, the repeatingly occuring router-problem happened.
As in ... i can do anything, except playing EvE, because it keeps showing Status: Unknown until i unplug the router.

That's odd, i don't recall having to sign the EULA again ... but thanks for the notice, i'll remember it !
Okay, the .dat files are important to keep ... thanks !
(really ? my overview settings, window positions etc are in there? some guy said it was an xml, but i didn't find any)
(well ... that could be the reason why my settings got lost ... because there were none anymore lol)
Thank you guys !
And regarding the self entitlement ... this isn't exactly an issue where it makes sense to have to wait for an answer long
enough so that i could even re-do all my settings myself, making a thread obsolete.
But maybe things have changed in the Issues-forum ...

Overview settings files and stuff like screen shots are found in the EVE folder under My Documents, easy enough to find. If you don't already have an Overview folder in there, which you should if you had any saved out, just create it and if you don't have any already exported find some that you can use and just drop em into that folder to be able to import them into the game.
I have a set of overview profiles that I created and posted on our forum, see if those work to get you started.

Thank you for your offer, but i already started remaking mine.
Btw, the only folders i've EVER seen in My Documents/EVE/ are: capture, fittings, logs.
I have *no* idea what folder you are talking about.
Edit: Do you mean to say i need to export the overview settings to create such a folder ? Never did that.
But ... NOW is a GREAT moment to start ... XD
