    So I just installed HAWX and there are 2 problems:

    1) If I run the game, create a profile, and click Apply, I get a Loading screen, then a Windows ding sound and the game freezes. Anyone else get this? I have to run in XP SP2 compatibility mode.

    2) I cannot save the game at the end of each level. I get a message saying "could not open content or file". Anyone know how to fix this?

    Otherwise, great game.

    No such option since UAC is turned off.

    You could turn your user account into an administrator account even without UAC on, that way all programs get run with administrator privileges. It's worth a shot.

    Just tried running as admin, no effect.

    I cannot find the HAWX save game folder in C:/Users/Fred Liu/Saved Games/ either.
