OK, for any and all who use Windows Vista and are having a problem with games showing up in the save game room (or rather not showing up) i found the problem. If you have a desktop icon of B&W right click it and select Properties (for those without, simply go to the Lionhead Studios Ltd folder in Program Files and right click on the B&W icon), from there click the Compatibility tab and near the bottom check the Run this program as an administrator box, then apply (easy as that). However, doing this causes you to lose anything you have done in the game up to that point, so be prepared to start over. You can still keep your creature, but you must identify him first. To do this, you can use the KONG download on this site or use the regedit program (start menu, run, regedit) and it should tell you the name of your creature (should be C########.erc the most recent one is the one you used last). Then switch your new creatures mind with this one. This should give you your old creature back and allow you to play the game as well as any of those "xp users"  :)
 
Have you tried backing up with BWBackup and then restoring your profiles after making the change?

Nice tip though. I'm moving this to the B&W Technical Help forum.
