About to format my computer; need to find my Hellfire multiplayer characters.

Did you make any change to your computer name? I recall that for Diablo (versions 1.07 and earlier) and Hellfire (Diablo 1.04 engine), if there was a change in the computer name multiplayer characters could not be accessed. My Hellfire multiplayer characters can be seen in my C:\windows folder. They are not in the C:/windows/system subfolder. You may want to try just scrolling through your C:\Windows folder. Come to think of it, any change in the computer name would be irrelevant to whether you could actually see the characters in the folder, but would keep you from accessing them when you launch the game.
