Could someone tell me how to delete saved games on Windows Vista? My
memory is getting pretty crowded with old games. Thanks in advance!

Find the folder where the game stores the saves and just select them and
delete them. Some games save to a sub directory in their own game folder and
some save under your My Documents folder in a sub folder. Usually the folder
is called Saves but not always.

The problem is I have no idea where to look. On my old system I used
to be able to find it saved under properties. It doesn't work that way
on Vista. Please, I need someone to tell me where saved is on Vista.

I don't know specifics about CivIII but a good technique is to save a game,
then do a search for files created today. Be sure to select advanced options
and select looking in hidden and non-indexed locations. It will take a while
but should find the file. Then you will know the folder its in and can go
from there.

Alternatively you might look in C:\Users - things changed in Vista. For
example, in XP my World of Warcraft saves were in "C:\Program Files\World of
Warcraft\WTF\Account" but in Vista they are in
"C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Prog ram Files\World of
Warcraft\WTF\Account"

Hope that helps!
Mark
