resting error message

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 12:35 pm

started using morrowind on my new computer. its got vista. when i go to rest it gives me a error message saying. "Unable to complete operation due to failure removing previous file. Temp file remains.
I can click continue or to exit. if i continue my character appears to have rested, but it will not let me level up and add on my skill points.
i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and no luck, still same message.
Any ideas?

The message is from the game trying to "save on rest". http://support.gamesas.com/asp/resolution.asp?sid=105608101011071169017014&pid=1101&pnm=Morrowind&seid=2198&pos=Windows+XP&top=Save%2FLoad&rid=17509 link applies to Vista as well as XP.

Edit: Also, installing the game to a directory other than Program Files (ie C:\Morrowind) should take care of it too.
