After upgrading to Xampp 1.8.1, can't view my sites

I was using xampp 1.7.0 but just decided to upgrade to xampp 1.8.1. I uninstalled the 1.7 but didn't uninstall the htdocs and mysql server.
I now installed 1.8 and create passwords for the xampp directory and mysql through the xampp security page.
Unfortunately, I can't view my sites again, they all give errors, this is a sample error:


Strict Standards: Non-static method JLoader::import() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\3nity\libraries\joomla\import.php on line 29
Strict Standards: Non-static method JLoader::register() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\3nity\libraries\loader.php on line 71

Strict Standards: Non-static method JRequest::_cleanArray() should not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\3nity\libraries\joomla\environment\request.php on line 463

Please what can I do because i don't have a backup of all the sites, 5 years of hard work with a current clients project at hand now.

I use a win 7 operating system 64bit, used xampp-win32-1.8.1-VC9-installer.

You didn't lose anything. A simple search for strict standards will yield you the answer on this message board.

It is always a very bad idea not to do a backup. You should do a backup NOW. Never ever change a running system without any reason and never ever without doing a backup. In any case, you have to blame yourself, if something is lost.

I cannot understand why people dont do backups. Do you wanna learn it "the hard way"? Fortunately (for now) it may end up good.
