it's been a good while since i had vista running on my computer, but i remember the classic "program files" folder from all former versions of windows is different in vista. try looking for the game under c:\users\ ...
or while you're in rct saving a game, right click on an sv4 and select "properties". it should tell you the correct path of the saved games folder.
Hey, sorry to bump this after quite come time but I need some help. I've tried the drexler patch and the other one, I've followed your guide and stuff (BTW, Im using WinXP) but every time I hit "Save Game" on anyscenario it just exits the program. Can you help me here? I'm not using any trainers or anything..
did you drexler before the official patch?
you should always update with the official patch for XP before drexlering - otherwise the official patch won't work properly and the game won't run properly on winXP.

Well, sort of; I've only installed the official us patch, because I don't even plan on downloading any custom parks period. So what's the point of downloading drexler?
i have never experience this problem that it exits the game upon saving. are you sure the task is really killed? try to switch to windowed mode and see if it still happens.

I'm not sure if anyone cares about this but if you're on Vista you might be experiencing the same problems that I am. Vista automatically associates most programs you run with your user account, so the files you save in RCT or other programs end up somewhere in your own user folder, which for me is:
In the end, it's not a huge deal, though I would prefer Vista not do this. What it amounts to is that other users won't be able to access the same files if they run RCT.
so running on vista I can't seem to get the Dragons IOA v. 6 to work at all. immediately when it's started up, I get an error trapper. i've tried running both in windows xp mode to no avail.
Not really sure where to post this, and I don't want to start a topic.
I remember there being a button which automatically finished the track you were working on. I can't find it anymore. Is it gone with LL or am I just hallucinating? (lol)
^also, how do you run as adminstrator? I can't figure it out and some things are messed up if not in it

Drexler seemed to help this as I didnt have any problems after adding this on. So yeah, use Drexler.

You can download either the .exe or the .zip file (that just contains the executable.)
