This has to be FRIDAY 13th !!! All my macros vanished after receiving that new huge patch this afternoon. I have a few 12th year accounts, but a computer geek I am not!! help? 
When I
Log in: all characters on numerous accounts have lost most macros.
Try to rewrite macros or Log out - I get this same message:
'couldn't open file for writing: etc'

Will have to try suggestions made there if there is no simple solution.
Just can't understand why downloading that patch should create such a big problem. I have a second older computer on which I can't even play the game since downloading Stygian Abyss. So I am scared to uninstall and reinstall the game by downloading SA again since I don't have a back up disc in a box for SA. I would probably run into a problem with trying to use the code again to prove I purchased the SA download. I suppose I could use an older version of UO to start and download all the patches again but how does that put SA back on my computer?
hahahaha I need someone right here to show me how to do things.
