(or whatever) I see the part about savepath=D:\ program files in the sword1.ini file but its mixed in with other files. its not on a line by itself and there is a symbol like a small square in front of that part and I wouldn't k now whether I should remove that. I am not experienced at changing parts of ini lines and need step by step instructions. Maybe I should forget it for now. > (If you are running Vista or Win7, it will probably not let you save the > file, which is why you should never install games to "C:\Program Files" as > I mentioned) I am using XP. I have always installed games to C:\ Program files or right now on D:\programs files for the past 20 years and never had a problem. But maybe its different witih Vista and Win 7. > Pretty bad oversight from GOG to not have that fixed out of the box. Thanks anyway. I need a fix that is easier for me, if there is one. Mary
