No save folder

The saves folder isn't created until you start your first game. So you can either start a first game to create that folder or manually create the save file under the Civ3 directory "Saves".

i have saved games just no folder and when I try to create one it doesn't register it.
Well, without access to your machine, it would be hard to say. I'd suggest searching for all files created on that day and see what you find.
What happens when you try to load it from the game?
If you try to load the save, and it works, then obviously it's out there somewhere.
Maybe if you were logged in without administrator rights, then this kind of behavior would happen. But I don't think you can play Civ3 without admin rights....Might be install, tho. So make sure you're logged in as admin.
You're not using Vista, are you?

Vista does things differently. I don't have it, so I'm not sure exactly what. I think you need to check your C:\Users folder, but I don't know.

Go to C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III and in the upper toolbar it should say "compatibility files". Click there. Then go to saves.

I don't thing that works for some version of vista either. Just copy-paste this into your addres bar.
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civilization III Complete
There should be a folder called saves. If that doesn't work make sure you have a save that is called something weird like superchickennuggets. Then type something random in the search box that won't bring up any results. Click on advanced search. Change location to "everywhere". Check, "include no-indexed, hidden, ...". Then click "enter" on your keyboard. Then clear the search box in the top right. Finally, hit enter again.

Wait, it should work Bratmon. You just got the directory wrong it's
C:\Program Files\Firaxis\Civilization3complete\conquests
C:\Program Files\Firaxis\Civilization3complete\conquests
Bratmon's answer is correct for the original, vanilla Civ3.
