i just opened up Petz, and i got the opening intro like i'd just installed the game for the first time. it went back to living room as default, none of my previous changes to the walls or photo frames were saved. i looked it up and tried running the game as Administrator and it still occurs.
what gives??? i'm slightly panicking lol. not sure why. but i was really attached to how i had everything set up in my game and it makes me worry down the line a game crash circa the horrible one i had in 2003 where i lost all my petz from back then will happen again.

This happens to me once and awhile too :\ I dunno... I just set up my house again... >> I think since I've been "running as administrator" every time since, I haven't had that problem, but I really have no document proof or nothing.

I find that I ALWAYS have to run the game as administator, because it sometimes reset stuff to default like that for me and it was so annoying. xD If it reset once for you, then you probably lost your room changes already and have to do them again. But so long as you keep running the game as administrator (there should be an option to make it always do that) it shouldn't do that again. If it does, then it's a different problem and I don't know what I'm talking about. xDD
Regarding having lost your Petz in the past...keep them backed up somewhere safe! It's really the only thing to protect them. I lost all my first Petz to an irritating Petz glitch that corrupted a bunch of random Petz in bunches for no reason, and they were unable to be fixed. Their files were wiped clean, there was nothing to be done about it. :\ If I had known to back them up, they'd still be here today. So definitely keep them backed up, just in case!

Thor and CatCreature , thank you so much. i'll make sure i'm extra careful with my files and i'll run as adminstrator from now on. already got my babies backed up as we speak. do you know how to make the pop-up "are you sure you want to let this unknown program run?" go away? it only does that now when starting as adminstrator. lol. ahh!

Mine does that too xD I'm not sure there's a way to turn it off...at least, I don't know of one. I think that's part of running it as administator, it's asking permission to make sure you're the one opening the program. Slightly annoying, but at least it's quick enough to adjust to over time. xD
