well, i found away around the problem. you have to go into the folder where the save games are stored, copy and paste both of the autosave files (.ess and .bak) and rename them to whatever you wish and then you can use the manual save function.

I'm running windows 7 64bit home premium and whenever i try to do a manual save in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, nothing happens. The autosave feature works, but not the manual one.any ideas?

Ok, so the apparent solution is to try it over and over and over again, until it works. I also put a "-tcp" at the the end of a steam.exe shortcut so that may have helped. no longer sure if this was a windows 7 problem or an ISP issue.

i don't know if its the cause of my steam issues as every other internet program works, but Windows 7 says that i am not connected to the internet, obviously this is not the case as i am typing this. The Network and Sharing Center says i am conected to a network, but not the internet. This my be because of the way the internet is set up on the the base i'm on in Iraq. We plug CAT5 into our computers and tenhave to pay for what i believe is in the end satelite internet. There may be another place i can go and pay a diferent service but i don't wanna waste the money if that is not the reason steam isnt working.

thats fine, its a fresh steam install so nothing is downloaded anyway, i just got the computer yesterday.

Thanks guys, when i re-install it again should i get rid of steam in the registry as well?

yea, tried to run as an admin, both on the desktop shortcut and the exe in program files.

Hi, I just got a new ASUS Laptop that's running Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium. I installed steam with no issues, but whenever i try to login Steam stops responding. At first it would not go past the login screen, but after switching to Windows Vista Compatibility mode, it now goes to the "connecting to account: accountname" screen and then stops responding. It now goes this far no matter what mode it is in. I downloaded the latest video card drivers and 1 set of windows updates and am waiting on a second set (only a 128kbps connection avaliable here). I also tried re-installing steam. Any ideas on what i should do?
