so now that you have the unmodded version, and are trying to backup information that was created in a modded version, you’ll most likely never get it to work unless..
this guy who helped me turned it around in about one hour… it took more time than that (to restore) but physical labour on his part was short.
once he got the new database in, it still had posting problems but after he reinstalled the cash module, it worked!
I am so happy!
