TimB050505 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've just changed computers and wish to carry some saved games over. I've copied them onto a disk, and loaded them on to my new computer and the games seem to play fine. Until I go to save, when it tells me that this is not possible. I'm a bit of a technical novice, so I'd appreciate any advice from the more advanced brains out there. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark wilson27 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 As daft it sounds have you tried pressing "save as" instead of just save... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Did you try saving it under a different name? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB050505 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yes to the two questions above, I'm afraid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Go to your save-file with the Windows Explorer, right click it and see if it has a box ticked name 'Read Only'. If you untick that box, you should be able to overwrite your old file. It might also be the case that the entire folder is 'Read Only', which you can verify by rightclicking the folder itself. Also, you might want to check whether you have enough free disk space left on that disk for a whole new save game. I had the same error displayed whenever I would try to save on a disk which had left less disk space than a 'fresh' save game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
