Does anyone remember where the saved games for Morrowind are hiding? I can't seem to find them under My Documents or in the Program File/Bethesda folder either.

I am running Vista so maybe that is another issue?

Any help in finding my saved games would be greatly appreciated.

Oblivion is in My Documents>My Games, so maybe Morrowind is there also. Vista may be your problem. I think Vista tends to hide saved games and you have to make changes for them to appear.

Quote:


"With Windows Vista, go into your main `Program Files' folder.

Once you are in the main `Program Files' folder (or main folder/drive) where you install your games, look at the top of the window, just below the top of your Browser, there is the Fat Blue Bar showing the main options catagories like `Organize', `Views', etc listed from left to right.

Now, at or toward the far right is an option called `Compatability Files'.

Click on that, and `bing bang boom, baby' that's where Vista is `hiding' a lot of stuff!

Now, if you look at the top of the window, you'll see the actual `address' of where this stuff actually is. It should read something like:

user>appdata>local>virtualstore. In other words, it's in your `user' file under the following sub folders"

You could try doing a search (or use the similar function in Vista) for .ess files. I also think that Vista tries to hide save files - especially if the game is installed in the Programs folder.



Adventure gaming is fun smile

OK, thanks for the help - I'll check it out. So far I can't say I am thrilled with Vista but maybe it is just a matter of getting used to it. Or maybe learning how it operates would be a big plus also. smile

ed: Yes! It works like you said Pokey! I moved most of my saves over to another folder so that the game menu wouldn't take so long to load at the beginning. Thanks for the help. smile
