Wburn Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have this problem with Vista and e-mail games in SC2. When i download them to MP e-mail saves I can't find the file. there is a button on the folder that say's compatibility, when I click on button i'll see my saves but the game exe. won't show them on MP saves. i've set the exe. compatability to XP but I still can't get the game to see the sav's. This by all means is a real pain since I've upgraded to VISTA. (sorry no go backs, XP disc is toast). Wayne 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Wburn, I don't think this is actually a Vista issue... can you confirm you and your opponent are both running the latest version of SC2, i.e. v1.06? This can be confirmed in the bottom right hand corner of the MAIN MENU screen. I only ask as it is possible the saved games are not showing up if they are from an older version of SC2. Also, just to double check, are you saving them to the Multiplayer\E-Mail directory? Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wburn Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hello, Thanks for getting back to me on this problem. I checked the version and it's 1.06. Wayne 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ok, as long as it is in the installation directory subfolder it should then see it... is your opponent also running v1.06? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wburn Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hi hubert, Yes, my opponent is running 1.06. The turns load fine on my laptop with XP. It's just with SC2 and Vista is when I have the problem. Wayne 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I ran into the same problem and resolved it by: 1. Right clicking the shortcut, 2. Selecting Properties 3. On the Shortcut tab selecting advanced 4. Then selecting the run as administrator checkbox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundoff99 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks Edwin and Hubert, Was just returning to say that I'd solved the problem by doing just that a moment or two ago. Just goes to show ....updating to Vista without actually understanding how it works properly can be a right pain. Ah well time to open the Vista manual and working out how to enable the desktop icon. Many thanks all Mick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
