As for the bizarre place it was installed:

C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Eschalon Book I Demo\Eschalon Book 1 Saved Games

If you know why 1.04 saved there I'd love to know!

Thanks for your help anyway :wink:
As BW says the recommendation from Microsoft is not to put user specific information in system areas (program files is a system area). For backwards compatibility when legacy applications attempt to write to these system areas Vista changes it to a write to a user specific area, hence they are written to the path you mentioned. Windows explorer should display a compatibility files (or something similar) message near the address bar when you browse to c:\program files\eschalon book i.
