Screenshots not appearing in Vista
I'm attempting to take screenshots of my game, but they aren't showing up. Three older ones that I took before upgrading to Vista are showing up in my C:/Program Files/Atari/Locomotion directory. I attempted to use my computer's search function, but that only found those three Lomo screenshots. One other thing that might be affecting things is that I also have a second hard drive (F:/), but Lomo isn't installed on that drive. Has anyone else had this problem?

I Can Help!
I can help you there!
Vista had me going for a while. I couln't find the save games! I looked and looked, the game could find them, but nothing worked!
Then I remembered a similar problem with "missing" files (Another game..)
The bit you are looking for is the "Compatibility Files" thing.
In Windows Explorer, there is a band above the window with a menu of things on it. "Organize", "Views", "Burn".
If you go through the usual "Computer", "C:/", "Program Files", "Atari", "Locomotion" screens, the band for the "Locomotion" Folder has "Compatibility Files" added to it.
Click on "Compatibility Files", and a new window will open. This will show your missing screenshots.
The same goes for the Save Games folders, and probably anything else that goes "missing" in a non Vista game/application!!

Re: Screenshots not appearing in Vista
Thank you, Sarah. I would never have found the missing files. Also, I never noticed that Compatibility thing with Vista.
