This started after I installed 1.06. I dont know how long its been this way because I have not played in a number of days. This might not have anything to do with 1.06. Now I did a clean install and I have not patched yet but it still wont let me reload any of the presets for the scenarios. As soon as I click on the file I get an error, the error says it cant locate the file. So I checked all my programs and removed anything that I installed in the last ten days, still no go. I did this thinking its a conflict with the file prefix GAM. Yet I cant find anything that has changed since last time I loaded a save. The only thing besides the programs I have uninstalled is that windows 7 has updated in the last couple of days.

I just checked and found out I can manually browse to load games. So this is not a critical issue for me, but its reported in case others have it too.

Yeah, I messed this up when I made a change in 1.0.6.0 for accepting lower case 'gam' extensions for saved games.

If you turn on viewing Extensions, you should be able to use the radio buttons. What is happening, is that a Windows setting can eliminate the extensions from the list of files. When the program doesn't 'see' the GAM extension, it can't find the files. This was the primary fix between 1.0.0.0 and 1.0.1.0.
