PSE and EAM

So, being me and all, I reinstalled Windows and did not back up my aIW folder. I still had the .7z that a friend handed over to me, so I extracted it and played a little until I was level 3.

I wanted my old level 55 back, so I got out the PSE 0003.3. I created a text file, opened it with that, and put in the XP value for level 55. I go and get EAM and then launch up iw4mp.exe.

When the game opens, I put the text file in that folder and rename it to playerstats.txt, so EAM can use it. I click the "Import Stats" button on EAM and in-game I'm made level 55. I join a game, play a little, then leave and close out EAM. The second I close EAM, my level resets back to 3.

I try different methods, like renaming the file to "md202ef8d_aIW.stat" in the players folder, but that keeps my level. I also tried saving it as "md202ef8d_aIW.stat" in the players folder. That just made it so I was level 3 again. I looked at that file, with PSE, and it said EVERYTHING was like 565000 or something.

Can anyone help me with this situation?
Thanks in advance.
