try just throwing a save into the UserData folder and see if you can load the save
Could be that the path the game is trying to save to is protected or requires admin rights to write to.
Take the entire game folder and place it directly on your C: drive then try again, this will put it outside of windows protection.
Yes and no, sometimes windows protection can go overboard and the best way around it is to use a folder straight on the C: outside of windows protection.
I'm glade you got it fixed.
Agree. The protection on the Program Files and Program Files (x86) sometimes gets in the way. Personally I have created the "Games" and "GOG Games" (for games from the GOG website obviously) directory's, gave them full user rights, and installed all games in thhose folders. Since then I never had a problem with any game. The (legal) Steam games are managed by the Steam client, so in general users do not have to give or manage permissions.
Yep and now windows protection has extended to the desktop where a lot of players put the game from here on and that is what a lot of them have problems with.
a1fox3's answers below your response (above this post) address the Windows "feature" I was referring to.
by itself it probably doesnt have to be run as admin, but the location its trying to write to is protected through UAE (unified administrative environment or sum such shit) instead.
