Re: start up error
That error message means that the game (for some reason) can't write to the save directory. This could be due to:
  • Insufficient space
  • Insufficient permissions
  • My Documents folder is located in a root folder (e.g. D:\ instead of D:\Documents)
Possible solutions you could try are:
  • Making sure you have enough disk space in your My Documents folder
  • Try running the game as an Administrator (in Vista: right-click on shortcut -> Run as administrator)
  • If you have changed the location of your "My Documents"-folder to a root drive, try changing it to a subfolder (not D:\ but D:\Documents for instance) -- btw, this prevents a lot of problems with other games!
Let us know what worked for you!
