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
It will happen automatically if you export any overview settings, or you can just create the folder yourself and call it Overview. The folders in the My Documents/EVE are only created when you do something to generate them, like take a screenie, save a fitting, etc.

You can also copy the settings into a personal folder in My Documents (or anywhere you want) in case those in the default folder become corrupted(or wiped). I've experienced this twice this year during power outages. |

It's possible that Windows 7 is forcing a restart after it install updates in the background. This is the default action for that operating system, for which the developer of that "feature" should be shot - or at least not allowed anywhere near the IT industry again.
Also to expound of the help everyone else has already given, the overview data is located the the settings folder under
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\{game_installation_folder}\
you probably have multiple folders with the game installation path since your overview settings appeared to be wiped (EVE created a new {game_installation_folder} with the a new overview. The one with your original overview data should be the oldest. |

Another easy way to find you charid is to right click your portrait on these forums and open image in new tab/window or save img. The string of numbers before _128 is your userid. Yours for example is 688798363 |

I thought about this, but it's set to do at a specific time ... and it wasn't that time. Thank you for the idea though.
Btw ... i fail to realize why i need my char_id, when i just can copy everything.
I had a crash again today but at least my settings didn't get deleted.
It's odd that nvidia drives get mentioned. I've switched from an ATI-notebook to an nvidia one ... hm.

I'd check the NVidia forums to see if others report problems with your current driver. Often my computer would reboot without me being able to see any error messages. Are you getting any strange effects visually before the crash? Pink or glittery screen? Ship or gate effects turning white? Those were the typical reports and the things I would often experience before crashes.

I remember these issues but they were client-related, because it didn't clean up videoram properly.
I had no issues regarding this for a while now and don't think it's that.
Will check because of the drivers ... but it seems nvidia drivers are really good.
At least compared to ATI ... wow ... it's sooo much better with nvidia now !
