My file isn't showing up in my folder.

I just got done making a house outside of Balmora. I saved it and it isn't showing up in my Data Files folder. In the Construction Set it shows up just fine under File->Data Files->. When I was working on the house it crashed, so when I reopened it and started working on it again (I forgot to put it as active file) I saved it as another file, Kitchen2. That isn't showing up either. Idk what's wrong. This like my 3rd time using the Construction Set, so I probably screwed up somewhere.

Thnx.

Is your Morrowind install folder is under Program Files? Windows prevents changes to Program Files folder, and sends those files to a compatibility folder.

C:\ProgramData\

I recommend installing somewhere else than program files.

Hint: You can copy your entire morrowind folder to c:\games\morrowind\ and it will work.

Ok, well I saved a new file to my desktop. It didn't show up there. I'm using Windows 7, that may be a reason for all this trouble?

Yes, Windows 7 changed how things work under Program Files, see http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1075735-lost-an-esp-windows-7/page__p__15652456&#entry15652456.

Ok, sweet! Got it to work. Just pushed Compatibility Files, copy and pasted the files back into my Morrowind directory, and it all works.
