Title: AlienSoul's Possible Windows 7 Fix for lost Machinarium saved games
Post by: Alex on May 21, 2013, 08:23:53 am

Forum member AlienSoul sent me this note and I thought it was worth posting for the general forum population to read and comment on.  You all are our testers on this one, so please post any success/failure stories you might have in attempting this possible fix.

Hello.

I have Windows 7 and am using IE 9.  This solution seems to be working for me:

In the folder that machinarium.sol is in (http://amanita-design.net/forum/index.php/topic,1097.msg5352.html#msg5352) set the security permission for SYSTEM to Write to DENY.

(I presume that machinarium.sol has to exist before doing this)

It worked for 2 days (before that the saved games got lost within 1 day).   :-\
