*----

With Steam and Skyrim, I messed around in Properties/Updates/  and
noticed that "Enable Steam Cloud Synchronization..." was disabled and
saw that it said "View Settings/Downloads+Cloud to reenable the Steam
Cloud for your account.".  I exited Steam and there were my save
games!  I cannot belive it's been since 2012 since I saved a game!


Doom is working now with a save game but it is not where I remember I
left off and there is a slot with the difficulty "Hurt me plenty"
which I would never do.

I will try your suggestions.  Be right back :-)
