POTENTIAL SAVED GAMES PROBLEM
When playing COD4:MW on a Windows(R)Vista system, there is th
potential for Saved Games to "disappear" if you switch from Standar
User level to Administrator level of security. This is because of ho
Vista deals with saving files into the Program Files directory. If
user saves games, which are typically stored under the Program File
directory (by default in C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4
Modern Warfare\Players), they are not actually saved in that folder bu
in a Virtual Store. Windows(R) does this to protect the security of th
Program Files folder, but allow legacy titles to continue to function o
Windows(R)Vista
However, when a person elevates to Administrative mode, the link t
the Virtual Store will be broken and only files in the actual Saved Gam
directory (under Program Files) will be visible. Switching back t
Standard User mode will restore the link. *-Interestingly, in user mode
both the files actually in the Saved Games folder and in the Virtua
Store will all be visible, although you will not be able to delete an
files in the actual Saved Games folder.-
This issue will not occur unless the game is installed in a privilege
area (e.g. C:\Windows or C:\Program Files), although this is th
default. Also, this won't happen if the User Account Control (UAC) i
turned off
