I am kicking myself right now!
Eight years ago I was playing this game and my computer broke down on me. I started replaying it again this year, 3 months ago. I don't usually take this long to play a game but it is on my XP and shares a monitor with my Win 10 so I am often lazy about turning the Win 10 off and the XP on (mostly because then I am without my internet which gives me anxiety attacks ). Anyway, I went to play tonight and the save games will not load. The game opens fine and all the save slots appear to be there but just won't load. I tried several of them and I tried looking for the saves in the game folder and other areas of the computer. I tried taking the disc out and putting it back in, and I restarted my computer. Apparently I can play the game if I want to start at the beginning again, which I really don't. I am in Chapter 4 and have covered a lot of ground. Chapter 4 is also where I was when my old computer broke down.
I see that it has been close to 4 weeks since I last played. Would the save games have just disappeared due to lack of playing? Any other suggestions for where to look or what to try?
