Yes, you can back up the files and restore them. I'm not sure if it will require re-activation, though.

This res thing is REALLY annoying with XSI EXP. My default is res is 1280x960, which is the correct resolution since its 4:3, however it requires that I switch to 1280x1024. Is there no way at all to edit my layout to get around this? If not that may be reason enough to switch to another program.
