As the game is installed on my machine (Vista 64 bits), there is no <game folder>\users folder. I am looking at Ai, Builder, Data, Docs, etc. as sub-folders in the TOW 2 folder, but no "users".
I have tried other suggested methods, like running Configure TOW 2, but that is ineffective.
When I try to edit messages.xml to edit the program responses to events, I am not allowed to save changes. The Security properties tell me that this is an "Owner" file and I was not able to grant write privileges to the System Administrator (i.e. me).
This is not my greatest complaint with the game. The biggest problem I have is saving a game, which I have yet to do successfully. It doesn't matter whether the save attempt is mid-battle or upon the successful completion of a battle. I hit the red button at the end of the first campaign battle, a "Saving...." window appears, but the saved game is nowhere to be found and I am stuck at the beginning of the first battle in the campaign when I try to resume.
Since I initially downloaded the game, I uninstalled it then re-installed the game from the CD and added the 1.1.0 patch. Still no Save Game capabilities. This seems pretty basic Computer 101 stuff.
I tried once again to find the elusive "users" folder to search for the header.xml and reservs.sav files to set the <version> as 1.1.0. Once again, I cannot locate either this users folder or the particular files.
It's a shame, because TOW 2 has great graphics, I love to see the bombers swarming overhead, and the AI is quite clever.
The fix to these problems may be simple, but I need to find and edit the files first. Any assistance is appreciated.

I did what you suggested and was able to edit the messages file. And now I am also able to save games, Thanks.
