Where are saved gamrs kept?

I am playing SEV under Windows Vista, and now have 65 saved games. I want to delete some of them, but can't find them. Help would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Sorry about spelling mistake in topic. My fingers are old and stiff, and my reflexes poor.

Unless Vista works a lot differently than XP, they should be in the SEV\Savegame folder...

I eventually found the little button that allowed me to (very slowly) delete games.

However, the savegame directory exists, but is empty. My games are called Gary 1.gam, Gary 2.gam, etc. However, a search of the system for these names finds nothing.

Very puzzling.

Thanks for your reply.

Cheers

Hithere,
in answer to your question?
I am playing SEV under Windows Vista, and now have 65 saved games. I want to delete some of them, but can't find them. Help would be most appreciated.

Go to the saved game file via computer/drive/program files/ etc?
Once in the saved game folder look at the route bar at the top of the screen? you will see the word Compatibility?
click on it, and you will see your saved games?

Hope this helps

They are kept in a special 'user' profile part of the system. Not at home at the moment (where my Vista comp is), but if you do a 'SEARCH' using Vista search, for your filename, you'll find them as part of a 'userstore' special directory structure. Basically Vista will make it look to the app like they are stored where they normally are, but they actually get stored in a unique place for each vista USER, so that if you log onto Vista with a different account then that user will have a 'clean' savegame dir.

Hi guys I posted this answer before?
Saved game files on vista
Go via computer/program etc. to se5 save game file? It looks empty? at top of screen below the route bar, there is a folder called compatibility files.
Click on it, and you will find your saved games.
It took me ages to find at first too.Sad Smiling

Hope this helps
