I installed Blendigo (with the installer) and somehow it removed all other export and import options from Blender.

here is a screenshot:

How can I get the other options back?

O.o What did you do?
Did you rePLACE all the exporters with blendigo in you .blend folder?

Simply reinstall and DRAG AND DROP the blendigo script in the .blend folder.

If you only moved them to an other spot, you can also move them back into the .blend folder...

how?

There was no .blender folder before the installation! so I didn't replace anything.

I already saw that ...

Try to reinstall blender using application directory instead of app data option, then drag the .py in the scripts folder.

Display perhaps hidden files too ...

the default "official" blender installer is set to app data install now ...
So the scripts and all the stuff is going into documents and settings now, by default !

Because of vista I guess ...

Yes the "App Data" was creating problem!
First time it happened in Vista so I thought the problem is with Vista, then I installed on another system running XP and the exactly same problem happened when I used the installer (notice the top of the window in my last screenshot, its XP), so I guess it's not Vista specific.

First I resolved on my XP based laptop with your instruction, now I fixed it on my Vista based laptop too and here's how it looks:

But I still don't know where to put the Photometric folder from the Blendigo Zip file, any help with that?

Thanks again!

I've seen a similar issue when python isn't installed, half the exporters aren't there....

It\s not a Python issue, I had it installed.
