#2: Settlers of Catan save failure

Solved!
Some versions of Bigfish Games' Settlers of Catan (a faithful reproduction of the board game) have a strange issue, in which under certain operating contexts, it will not save a game. The error message reported is a generic and not-at-all useful " an error has occurred while saving ".

The failure to save is from a missing directory

There is a missing directory. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Games\Catan for Windows XP, and presumably AppData\Microsoft\MSN Games\Catan for Vista. Use ProcMon to check for which directory is missing, then create it yourself.

  2. I just want to share with everyone, after playing around with Process Monitor, that the save directory for Catan in Win Windows 7 is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSN Games\Catan\
