so I recently installed this game on my computer wich has vista.

anyhow: when I get to a save point I try to save, but I get the message "unable to save".

I looked around in the folders of the game, and I could.'nt find any folder called "saves" or anything like that.

any solutions?

Hey! I'm having the same issue. I'm also having a problem with the background music looping during in-game cut scenes

hmm. I dont know how to fix the music thing, but the saving issue is really annoying me because this game is so awesome and I really wan't to play it.

somebody help!

Can someone help me? I can't save at all. The save screen doesn't appear, and the game just stops. (doesn't exit though, just blank screen with music)

I have a vista.

Go to properties, compatibility, and then check the box saying "Run as Administrator".

This works!!!! THANKS
