LightningBlade7: I'm pretty sure this is an isolated case and my actions probably have something to do with the issue I'm having, but I can't seem to figure out what keeps going wrong. My problem is this:

I have different kind of games on my computer. There are steam games, games I bought on GoG, retail games et cetera. There seems to be a problem with the GoG games I've bought however, as my savefiles keep getting deleted/corrupted at random moments with every single game I've bought from GoG.

It happened with Beyond good & Evil, Planescape, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and more. I have absolutely no trouble with any other game I've purchased outside of GoG, but every game I've bought here keeps removing my savefiles, making it ridiculously frustrating for me to actually finish the games I've bought.

I really can't think of any reason why this is happening (I'm the only one who uses this computer), which is why I've come to this place. Anyone have any idea why this may be happening to me all time time?

Licurg: re-installing the game as admin and running it as admin
Also, do not install them in "Program Files"

PaterAlf: And you should try to install them in another folder than the preset one.

wormholewizards: Maybe because of most GOG save game stored in VirtualStore folder (if you install the game into default directory on Vista or 7), you need to run the game in admin mode.

LightningBlade7: Wait a minute...Now that I think about it, something doesn't sound right. Even if this issue was because of administrative rights, wouldn't that merely prevent me from saving my files, instead of actually deleting all of them?

JMich: If you try to save as a non-admin account to Program Files, the file will instead be saved in VirtualStore\Program Files, and depending on the program you run, you may or may not be able to read them from the VirtualStore directory.
Once you run it as administrator though, the VirtualStore folder is completely ignored, so any files that are there will not be read, but the ones in Program Files (if any) will be used instead. Should you run it as a non-admin user again, the VirtualStore files should reappear.
