Go up one level in this thread


subsequent to your post, I noticed my autosave stopped saving games on October
23 of this yeat and that the folder it was in is somehow set to read only.

I reset the folder but it does not save games there. I also searched my
harddrive.
ps games on myinternetgames are OK. I have also been having problems running
Rebel inside fritz since the last update of rebel-- and AFAIK I installed
RebelXP on the approximate date that I stopped autosave.
