Saving RTW on Vista Problem

Welcome to Vista. You have found the "User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations" feature.

"User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations"

Heck. Someone really needs to tell Microcrap that that doesn't make them sound clever at all.

Or, you could click the "compatability files" link at the top of the folder, and it will show you the things that are in appdata.

But the cop/paste makes things much simpler....

Copy/paste is not a solution. You will see the file in explorer, but that's not the file the game will actually be saving your game to, unless you turn off the UAC feature.

Alternatively, you could install RTW into your Documents folder, the saves don't go to AppData then.

Yeah, except no other user on the computer will be able to play it.
