Oh, man. Vista is a huge problem... Only th DirectX attract me in it...
Install XP as second system - my advise... Or install SE5 in C drive and non-system directory

'You can try re-installing SE5 to a C:\Games folder instead of the default location, I think that should correct your save game issues.'
Cap't K's fix should work for you:
Program Files folder in vista is not normally writable. The protected program files folder is why many software vendors don't support vista.
Re: SE5 with sava problems
I don't know the specifics, but it sounds like you don't have the correct privileges in Vista to make folders in the program files directory (assuming that's where you installed the game). You can try re-installing SE5 to a C:\Games folder instead of the default location, I think that should correct your save game issues.
