Might I add that if you copy your savegames to a CD instead of a floppy, Windows has the nasty habit of turning all files in the folder to "read only" This way you cannot load the files while in the game anymore! The solution to it is simple: Just change all files in the map from "Read only" to "Archive" You can do this by rightclicking on a file (in Windows Explorer) and then go to "Properties" where you change the above. Fairly simple as I said, but it took me about 6 months to find it out
