Glad to be playing yet another iteration of this fine series!

I am 6-7 battles into my first campaign and I get a "disk full" error when starting the next one even though there are 30+ GB free. What must I do?

For an unrelated issue, I have been instructed to re-install the game. How do I preserve my saved Campaign during a re-install?

Thanks

Are you login to Windows as an administrator?

How to tell if you are an administrator:

Windows XP, Vista and 7: http://oit.ncsu.edu/antivirus/administrator-account
Windows 8: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/how-sign-in-as-administrator

And the saved games of your game are in your documents folder. There the game created a savedgame folder.

Very curious, I do not know now but in the past, this error happened with a missing map file.

Nicely done, both of you - thanks.

The "unrelated issue" I mentioned was a map file unpack/corruption issue.
So I will re-download and re-install while preserving my saved game in my Documents folder.

I am indeed an Administrator on my XP Home machine. Will I need that info somehow during my re-install?
