dr.schliemann: What folder did you installed the game into?
Mercurica: I made GOG folder in Saved Games library. I don't think this folder need any special permissions.
If you had installed the game into a protected folder, it would not probably be able to save into the same folder, and it would have probably created a virtual store folder. Take a look
here as a reference.
dr.schliemann: Did you backup the file named "sally.idx" too? If the answer is no, then you could experience some issues
Mercurica: Of course not, up until Win7 just sav files were enough.
I guess at this point it would be easier to start new game. But next time i'll be prepared. Thank's for the hint.
Well,
according to other users, the game should load the save files even without the correct "sally.idx", but the save files' names could be messed up. I don't think that the Windows version could be the cause.
Last but not least, take a look at the strange behavior reported
here. It could be helpful.
Before restarting the game, I would try again, experimenting with the virtualstore folder I told you before. Good luck!
