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! :wink:

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!! :roll:

Strange i am using Vista and they are under the \program files\atari\locomotion folder, never needed to edit something.

Hi IA...

This could be due to how you are running LOCO.

I was experiencing crashes, so switched LOCO to run in compatibility mode for Win XP SP2.

This would be why I need to activate compatibility files view mode...

I have to report no more problems running LOCO under CM. :)

Thanks much. All the missing screenshots are there, as are a missing scenario and savegame.

Thank you, Sarah. I would never have found the missing files. Also, I never noticed that Compatibility thing with Vista.
