Vista Help

[Pegasus]

My PC died :conf:

I bought a new one (with Vista) and installed TOAW III and the latest patch without any problems.
I recovered all my save files from the old drive and copied them into the default TOAW Saves folder on the new machine.

I had a couple of games where I was part-way through a turn. The saves loaded fine, things were steaming along with my new quad-core, 4GB system. I finished the turns for a couple games, saving the PBL files in the default location.

It was just too easy and too good to be true:

I went to email the finished turns to my opponents and they had vanished! I rifled through folders, used the seach function on the whole drive. All i could find were "shortcuts" in the folder C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent. These shortcuts pointed to files the default saves folder, but if it tried to " open target", windows said it couldn't find them.

If I use load a saved game, or load a PBEM in TOAW, it sees the files, and loads them, but as far as windows, my email client, or any other App is conscerned, they don't exist.

(note, windows can see all the files I transferred, but nothing saved when playing on the new machine. TOAW can see both)

Can anyone help?
