Is there a folder named "SAVEGAME" in the games folder? If not, create it..

Maybe the old save games are marked as read-only. In the game's folder, click Edit >> Select All, then Right click on one of the files, click Properties, under Attributes, uncheck Read-Only. If Read-Only was already unchecked, let us know.

i have the same problem with this game when i try to save it brings up an error saying the required file cannot be opened

can please put the name of the file when it has an error please it might be a little easier...thanks!!

Maybe I can help, as I have a working version.
I'd post a sceenshot, but I can't find how to...

Anyway, in the OCEANTRD directory, which contains the game, there's
a folder named "GAMESAVE". In it, there's a file named SCORES~1.CFG
and the savegame files: auto.sve and game0.sve to game9.sve

If you don't have this directory, create it.

yeah sorry this is what happens exactly:
I click on the option save
Then I type in the name i want to save the game as and push enter.
Immediately after a popup comes up saying "To M.H.Baker the required file cannot be opened"
The game does not tell me a name of the file, and the setup seems to work fine for me.

The directories you mentioned did not exist so i created them but still no change...

Hey it worked, I too had the problem, I opened the directory with the game, and created the folder "GAMESAVE" all caps like that. Even in the middle of playing it. It saved when I went to save it just perfect. Thanks for the help guys.

Terrance.
