No go. I completely rebuilt the game from scratch with anti-virus turned off before I started. I then loaded the 2 files from Nomad, (test saves, slot's 12 and 13). Both were in my saved game slot's, but both would not load, with the same "saved game failed to load" message. I did notice, that it took less time for the hour glass to stay on the screen, than it has before, when the failed message appeared in the past. I do not know if this is a hint, as to what might be wrong.I should have tried to load the saves when I had the game at 1.00, then again at 1.40, and at 1.50, and 1.60, just to see if I could isolate the problem in one of the patches. I will try this again next time around. During the work week, I only have so much time, to rebuild the game over and over again. I have the 16 digit serial number memorized now, after so many re-boot's.
I did receive the utility program. Thank you again Nomad. This will be the next effort to break loose the logjam. I will not rebuild the game again tonight however. I can only take so much frustration at a time.
When I do work up the internal fortitiude to tackle this mess again, I will certainly report back to this forum, with the new results. Dave and I will not accept not being able to play WitP. Although, we may start a new UV game, in the mean time, as we need our Fix! Regard's all, Ralph
