Hi

I installed The Last Testament of Sherlock on my Win7 machine last evening thinking I might make one save and then transfer the latest save across from where I have the game installed on my WinXP machine.
[Just to finish the game with the better graphics available and see what they look like.]

But I can't find the save

[My Son in Law installed the Win7 "Enterprise" version.]

I have a memory of members being told to look for these saves in My Documents but they are not there.
And I can't find a Documents & Settings folder at ALL.

I have looked everywhere I can think of but the layout in Win7 is so different I just seem to keep going round in circles

I though of trying via the Start Menu Search facility but even that's different. There are no options to choose from, I have to type in what I need to find myself and everything I've tried so far has failed

I was thinking to make a search for the last file "changed" but what do I type for that ??

Hoping someone can help me out here, please

EDIT :
If this post should be on a different board just please let me know.

Cheers.

My Documents is in Libraries, Mad. Say your computer's name is Bill. There will be an icon named Bill on your desktop. Double click on that. You'll see Libraries and under that, Documents. Open that with the little triangle out to the side and you'll see My Documents. (I always put a shortcut to My Docs on my desktop.)

You could do a typed search for Frogwares.
Or you could go to C\Program Files(X86) and see if Frogwares is there. That's the default for most of the games and some games do have their saves in the game folder.
I really wish developers would make up their minds where saves should be and stick them all in one place!

Find your AppData folder, mine is in My Docs, here you will find a file called Roaming, from here go to Frogwares and the Sherlock file will have your saves.

traveler :
Yes. When I looked for the saves for Secret Files 3 that's where I found them but the Sherlock saves are not there.
[I didn't find them until after I'd started this thread.]

Upsydaisy :
I went to AppData and found Roaming but there are no save games in there or in any other of the AppData files.

But thank you both for replying

Have you actually started playing the game? maybe the save game file doesn't appear until you have a save? just guessing here...

First of all you will have to make hidden folders visible. The location you want is

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Frogwares\The Testament of Sherlock Holmes\save

Obviously you will replace USERNAME with whatever your username is on your computer.

Thanks, mj2c-forgot to mention the hidden folder option.

Yes, Upsydaisy, I did make a save. And that's the save I'm trying to find

Thanks, mj2c.
I would definitely like to try that but whilst I know how to access hidden files on WinXP, I don't on Win7

Can you tell me how, please ??

Thanks to you all, again. I much appreciate the help

From the Start Menu type in Folder Options. Open Folder Options, select the View tab then select "Show hidden files, folders and drives".

Thank you, mj2c

But, another mystery now !!

I went the route to get hidden folders to be made available - only to find that "show hidden folders" was already checked .... Yet they are NOT showing.

I don't know WHAT to do now

Try to copy & paste the path from my post above to Windows Explorer but before pressing Enter replace the USERNAME part with your own username. Now press enter. What happens?

OK. I tried that, mj2c. But it just came up "no matches".

When I get to the "hidden folders" options there are two headings at the top of that page - Apply to Folders and Reset Folders.
Apply to Folders is greyed out but I don't know what Reset Folders might do so I haven't touched it

No dont type it in the search part but in the address part.

Our posts are crossing now

What address part - where ??

Ignore both of those. When you select Show hidden folders just select either the Ok button at the bottom or the Apply also at the bottom.

click on pic to magnify it. See where it says Libraries->Documents? That's the address bar.
