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

    1. You NEED a floppy disk
    2. You NEED a floppy disk drive :p
    3. Click on My computer
    4. Go to Program Files
    5. Go to Black Isle
    6. Go to BG
    7. Go to "Save" file
    8. Click on the particular saved game you wish to transfer
    9. Right click on it and Press "Copy" (or Ctrl C)
    10.Return to My computer
    11.Click on your Floppy Drive (A: )
    12.Right click and Press "Paste" (or Ctrl V)
    Now the saved game is successfully on a Floppy Disk
    To transfer it to the other computer:

    1. INSERT the floppy disk
    2. Go to My computer and select your floppy drive.
    3. Right Click on the saved game and Copy again
    4. Follow Steps 3-7 above
    5. Right Click in the Save File and Paste

    That should do it

    Of course it's even easier if you have a CD burner... You can burn the lot in one go then. Just remember to set file attributes back from Read-Only when you copy them off a burned CD.

    Tal, that's not easier, for then you have to copy a 1000 savegames before the cd is full, except when you use a rewritable cd :)

    Xenecor, that was pretty clear. Maybe we can become colleagues? Also wanna work at the helpdesk? ;)
