Problem adding games to the frontend.... Win7 X64 Version

Hi

When I'm adding games to the list when I start the latest version, it will add them as per normal.

However, when I quit, and then go back in, all the games I've added have disappeared.

I've uninstalled and then re-installed and it's still doing the same thing.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
Frank

The only thing I can think of is if ScummVM, for whatever reason, isn't allowed to create/modify files in the folder where it thinks the scummvm.ini file should be.

I don't run ScummVM under Windows myself, but the README file suggests that by default this would be the \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM\ folder. (Though rather than hard-coding that, it appears to look at the APPDATA environment variable.)

I wouldn't be surprised if this has been asked before, but I'm too sleepy to look right now.

Could there be an ini in the ScummVM folder (%ProgramFiles%\ScummVM) that it is trying to write to but can't because of UAC?
