I just finished Lost Horizon and a wonderful game it was. I decided to try another Deep Silver game and since I can't seem to get Secret Files 2 anywhere, I installed Secret Files Tunguska to play again, but everytime I try to save it tells me "Game Save Failed" and the auto save won't work either. Does anyone know if this game won't play with W7 because I played it with no problem with XP. Thanks.

Make sure you don't install the game into the default C:\Program Files because modern Windows will prevent programs from making changes within the C:\Program Files folder (like creating saves). Tunguska was made before Windows did this.

Try installing Tunguska to your user's My Documents (or Documents) folder. You can also try running the game as an administrator by right-clicking the shortcut and choosing to run as administrator.

Since the game was made for XP, you might try using Windows 7's compatibility mode (right-click the shortcut, Properties, Compatibility tab, set to XP and OK it.)

It's probably trying to save the game in your Program Files folder, which is restricted in Vista and above. You can reinstall the game in your User folders, or run the game in Administrator mode.

To run the game as administrator, right click the shortcut and select Run as Administrator.

Thanks Jenny and InlandAz, running the game as administrator fixed the save problem. Gee, you gotta love this forum. hearts
