problems finding files

hi, I just started using GameCam with Vista today, and am was trying to find
some recordings I saved earlier. The program told me it saved the video, but
when I checked the default location in Program Files, nothing was there.

I tried changing the location to the default Video folder and could find the
files.

Then I changed it back to the default location in the Program File folder,
saved a new recording, and once again nothing showed up in the folder. Any
idea how I can fix this and find those files I saved earlier?

Re: problems finding files

The Program Files folder is heavily restricted in Vista. You should be
saving the files somewhere in the users folder for the account you are
logged on with. If you want the files to be available to other users, save
them somewhere in the Public folder.
