    Is there a way to transfer my saved game on one computer to another? If so, how? Thanks!

    Well I never tried it but is should be very very easy.

    You can use a Floppy to copy (or a CD, or network) One Save Game is perhaps 330 KB so four saves fit on a Floppy.

    - Go with Explorer to the Baldur's Gate directory.
    - Select the map Save and copy it to a Floppy or what you wanna use.
    - Paste it in the Baldur's Gate map on the new computer. Windows will note that the map already exists, choose to overwrite it.

    Note: When you already have savegames on the other computer, they will be lost. Maybe you can prevent that by copying not the Map but open the map and copy every submap, however that could give some problems with the numbering of the savegames.

    To move a saved game, go into "My Computer", select the Hard Drive, go into the "Program Files" folder, select the "Black Isle Studios" file, Select the "Baldur's Gate" file, Select the "Save" folder, "MPSave" folder for a multi player save. Inside the folder there should be several saves inside. The Auto save, the Quick save, and all of your Save games. Copy the Save you want to a 3.5 floppy. Then put the 3.5 floppy into the new computer. (Note: you must have Baldur's Gate installed on the new system and have saved a game already.) Go into "My Computer", and select the 3.5 floppy drive. The file should be there. Drag it to your desktop. Then follow the above procedure and go into the Baldurs Gate Save game folder. Drag the save into this folder.

    Also to get around the numbering system problems start a new game. Then copy every thing in you old saves folder (not the folder itself) Into the new folder on the new computer.
