Nick, restore your computer to the day before you upgraded, all the files should be back to normal.

That was my first instinct. Before I even began uninstalling my old Gravostyle, I set a restore point so I could get back to normal just in case of an error on my part. After the upgrade and the realization I lost all my settings, I restored the computer to the point I had set mentioned before. When I attempted to run the original program, my computer told me there was a missing file and was unable to initiate the program at all. I tried restoring from a few days earlier to no avail.

Someone might jump in and correct me, but I believe windows system restore is for the operating system and drivers, not applications. I would guess that the software you upgraded is part application, part driver. System restores are to get the computer running again, if there's a problem, not your software. Don't get it confused with creating a backup.

This worked for me a couple of weeks ago, I installed new firmware & didn't bkup my printer files. I then restored to the day before, copied my printer files (hand copied), then added them to the new printer file. I guess it works if there are no other problems. Linda
