Hey Guys,
so I played today Skyrim and than saved my file, like everyday, after some hours I wanted to play again so I started Skyrim.....but I cant load my Save Files!
The only avaible option was "New Game" and the "Load Game" Text was dark.
I dont know exactly why thats happening, I mean my Save Files are still there at MyGames/Skyrim/Saves but still I cant load them.
Please help! :confused:

Just out of my head: Check if the savegame path is correct for your operating system. Win XP and Win 7, for example, keep documents in different folders. No idea why it would save it in a wrong directory in the first place though, but it's worth checking.

The only things in MyGames/Skyrim are
SkyrimPrefs.ini
Skyrim.ini
Rendererinfox.txt
Skyrim4GB.log
And the Save Folder, in which are only Saves

Ok Guys I just got it:
an entry in Skyrim.ini (folder C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\) became corrupted:
sLocalSavePath=profiles\NULL\
so I guess the game didn't found the subfolder Saves.
I've removed the line completely and now all works as earlier!!!
I'm sure I've never edited the file manually before, so there should be a bug somewhere in the game.

Bye!
