My fingers have a mind of their own - that's list found in the load screen.

You are really helpful to keep helping me and I do so appreciate it. When I right click saved coconut game(from my game) there is no "paste".
The save you sent is on my desktop. I right click and select "copy". right?

Copy and paste may not work the same with Vista as it does with XP, Betty. Try left-click-dragging and dropping the file into your game folder instead.

I did as you told me above and again when I opened game I had nothing to load. Should I just give up. I don't mind doing the game again but wish I didn't always loose it.

Is the game folder now in your Documents folder? Do you see any save files in the folder?

Yes, I have three saved games, battery,rock climbing and at one of the beaches. Not the one with the monkey which is my last saved game before I dragged your game over to the folder.

And none of these saves are showing in the load screen when you start your game up?

Let's try one more thing. Move all of those saves out of the game folder, and put them either to your desktop or in your main Documents folder just for temporary safekeeping. Now start up a brand new Ransom game, and save once at the very beginning. Now exit out of the game, and look in your game folder - you should have just one save in there, the one you just made. Replace the saves you previously moved, back into the game folder. Do not move the game folder itself to any other location.

Now start up the game as usual, check your load screen and see if your other saves appear.

I did as you suggested. After reloading the saved games I started the game and the reloaded games were there to play but not the one new one I had just made (at the beginning of new game)

Very strange! At least hopefully now you can carry on and play without having to start over from the beginning again.

I can surely do that. However, I can't seem to get game to accept saved game you sent. As soon as I drag this to folder to enclose. I loose that save and the one before that.

Could you send me the coconut grow save from a Vista OS. Maybe my vista would then accept the saved game. KThank you.

As far as I know XP saved games work with Vista. Members have used our saves for Vista.

But you still think that it works - let's wait for a Vista gamer to help you.

Since I am not able to insert your sent game into my game maybe I should just keep trying to win the coconut throw game. Any hints about that?

Aim for the guava, crab or starfish, in that order of preference. They carry higher points. Also remember that you only have 8 coconuts per round, so try not to waste a coconut on a lizard which is only worth 1 point.

I'm having no luck with the coconut game. I saved the game you send awhile back to a new folder. In my documents I dragged Ransom game to bottom of document page. Then I dragged the new folder with your game to the bottom of the page on top of the other game. No success to move on in the game.
