Help, 'suddenly I can't load my saved file

I don't know what is going on, but suddenly I can't open my save file. I get the message, There is a problem with the decoding of the game.
I play the game every day for 2 months and there was never a problem.
I searched this forum but don't know what to do. Can anyone help me?

have you used an antivirus program - and which one, we had an older problem reported on this, when the antivir prog. was interfering with the encrypting process.

Yes I an using NOD32 on my computer, but I am using it from the beginning. I never had a problem with loading the save files. And I play POC every dag. I am searching on the computer for my .sav files but I can't find them

But when I look in the map you told me to look, I see the files

do you use seperate users or are you working under admn, vsita sp1 has some strange mirrored directories to seperate the users (we work on this)

I dubbleclick the game, so no I don't open it as administrator.

can you try to ricklick and open as admin ?

Sp1 on vista changed the behavior on non admin modus, many programs have problems thereof.

I can open the program as administrator and then load my .sav file it opens then I have to begin all over, with 1 ship.
In this .sav should I be the owner of a lot of money and 85 ships!!!!!!

Yes there is an auto save with the same name as I saved my game.
But also when I open this file, I have to start at status 1 with only 1 ship
