    Arrrggghhhh I just re-installed Oblivion in XP after having it in Vista, and now it won't recognise that I have any saved games!!!

    They're in the right place and it is making saves, but the "load" page won't display any of my previous saves.

    I've installed everything, as I have the GOTY edition with the extra DLC and had everything installed in Vista.

    Does anyone know of a way to solve this, other than just playing the game through to where I was up to again?

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice :)

    Assuming that you backup'ed and restored your data, are you sure you put the files in the correct location? My Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Saved Games (I think is the directory).

    you need to start a new game and just save a file, then replace that new save file with your old ones, it wont recognize it any other way.

    and then put them in the directory Greg said.

    Ah that could be the problem, I don't think they were quite in the right place, I hadn't put them in the my documents folder, the my games fodler was just sitting in my username folder, doh!

    Thanks for the help anyway :)
