I'm wondering if there is a solution to this problem. I started playing Arena on my 486 a while ago. I got pretty far (sort of) and then I decided to put Windows 98 (DOS 7) on it instead of DOS 6.22. As a result, I had to format the hard drive. I backed up the save game files and proceeded to format. Once everything was done I realised that Arena worked much smoother than on DOS 6.22...strange, but that's beside the point.

Anyway, I went to load my backed up save game files but they were all missing! At least that's what I thought until I tried clicking on the spaces where my save game files were. And it worked! So I saved my save game files but it didn't save the names of each save game. And that's not the only thing that wasn't saved. Upon loading my games I realised that while I still have all my experience points, weapons, skills, potions, spells, etc etc I discovered that I was missing ALL of the name location markers I had set on my maps! They were all gone! Everything that could be labeled on a map was gone. That wouldn't be so bad, but for one of the main quests a queen marks a place on your map where you are supposed to go to complete the game and it doesn't show up on the map as a place where you can travel to unless she marks it. But now since all my labels are gone I can't travel there! I went to see her to see if the game would forget that she showed me in the first place and mark it again, but she just says something along the lines of 'you didn't accomplish your mission. Rest here for a while and try again blah blah'.

Is there ANY way to hack the game or something and get those labels (or at least the marker for Stonekeep (where I'm supposed to go) back in there manually? I really don't want to start all over again as I had some pretty unique items and I was at level 8. It would be a royal pain to go through all that AGAIN.
