Error when loading saved game

Save menu says 'Cannot load game' when choosing which save game to load[citation needed]

When installing the game, choose a directory other than C:\Program Files (i.e. install to C:\Games or another drive entirely). It's suspected that increased security in Windows is affecting the games ability to load or save files in protected directories, such as Program Files.
