The program can't open the file as read-write. Is it read-only? Is some other program using the file? Does the file exist?

Otherwise, could you attach your BALDUR.SAV file here?

[Pentti]

Ah yes, there was some problem with the Vista user things... Anyway, I got the file opened with the fixer now, but it seems to have no difference, still crashes on loading. Here is the savegame.

Could you also post the textual contents of your WeiDU.log file?

Looks like there is still an issue with file permissions in Vista that doesn't let the utility fix the file. I ran the utility on the file and it fixed the error. I've attached the fixed SAV file.

[Pentti]

Thanks, but it still isn't working... I also tried to do the same thing to another save through a friend, but still the same problem, even though the fixer did fix something according to the log. I guess it's hopeless.

[Ascension64]

Strange, can you give some details about the crash? Any error dialogues or reports?

[Pentti]

No errors or anything. It just crashes to desktop almost immideately after I start loading the save.

[Ascension64]

So you mean there were no error messages, even from Windows?

[Pentti]

No, nothing else but the "program not respoding" thing. The game crashes into a small black box on the desktop and has to be ended manually because it's not responding.

Well, you do know that the Vista also mirrors the original files from the Program Files, so you can't actually change them?

I would suggest that you move the game to a none-Program Files directory to get rid of the Vista's program files mirroring, and then edit the baldur.ini to reflect the changes under the [Alias] header, and then just start the game from the BGMain.exe...

What the hell, this actually worked! Thanks!

[Ascension64]

Yeah, based on your reports, it looked like that Vista was still preventing the file contents from actually changing, even though the utility seemed to be working.

[tancients]

Also running vista and am unable to get the java program to fix the save file (saying it is invalid)
File is read-write and all that would be necessary for the application to see it. Not familiar with Java, so couldn't tell you what would be the issue. haha

Save file attached, I assume it'll work after the fix.

Might be another Vista quirk that I wouldn't know about. Anyway, I ran it through the utility. Try it now (rename txt to sav).

Like a charm. Now to just remember what I was in the middle of doing. heh

[Ascension64]

Yes, I think we've established the 'weird' bit about crashes for quite some time.
