I had the same problem and I managed to sort it out myself by using the above solution. But now it won't load my save! Any ideas on whats wrong now? I'm also using Vista. Thanks.

1- Figure out where the saves actually are.
They may be in "C:\Program Files\blabla" as the screenshot suggests, or they may be in "C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ScummVM" or something like that.
You know how the files are called (savegame.xxx) so you can search for them.

2- Put the saves in a nice spot outside of the windows directories. "C:\savegames\brokensword" or some such.

3- Remove Broken Sword from the ScummVM game list.

4- Add it again.

5- In ScummVM, in the EditGame > Paths section of Broken Sword, set the path for your saves that you decided on in step 2.

6- Play.
