  Ok, hi everyone, just found this AWESOME site that i wish i knew about 3 years ago  :D
I used to play BnW all the time but after moving i gave it a break, but now that im back i seem to be having a little trouble... After playin around and messin up some creatures i ended my profiles to start new ones. But when i try to use the same name, it brings me to where i quit, with a partly grown creature thats 0 yrs and knows nothing  :shocked. Also when i use the cache cheats here (started after the problem) it shows all my previous names with no creature info. I was wondering if anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it. I'm not sure if im supposed to have  a profile file but i cant find one. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. (no hurry though since i can still play)  Thanks... and a special thank you to whoever made this website!
 
--Almost forgot, also when i try to save or when it auto saves, the save game room doesnt show it. Im not sure if the problems are related but i thought it might be worth mentioning.. Thanks again.
 
Hi, glad you finally found us. :)

This sounds like a Vista problem. Make sure you have the latest service pack installed. That "should" solve it.

 
  :D Thanks for the help, but im using windows xp. And when you say service pack do you mean the latest game patch?
 
XP shouldn't give that problem. Is it updated to SP2?

Is the game patched to V1.20?

Try running in compatibility mode for either Windows 2000 or Win 98
 
...ok after much work and backtracking i found out how to fix my problem... Firstly,  :sorry for the mixup but i AM vista :upside
The service pack 2 didnt help at all, neither did installing game patch 1.10 or 1.20; A vista problem with saves showing up in the save game room is easily and only fixed by going to the properties of the game and checking the box for Run game as Administrator. I was looking for some save help for xp or vista and couldnt find any in the forums, and i figured most vista ppl have this problem, so i made a new topic "Vista Save Help". if theres already something explaining this i apologize (must not be as computer literate as i thought) and feel free to delete the topic. But its there for the growing number of people who have to use vista (how sad) and want to play B&W. Thanks for your time and thoughts on this kays, and since im almost sure this site is yours, YOUR A GREAT PERSON FOR HELPING SO MANY!! :woot
 
Not a problem and thanks for posting your findings. :)
