If you run civ3 in standard mode (i.e. NOT admin) then it should write to the virtual store, and civassist should find them.@Puppeteer: So it sounds like that even though both CIV3 and CAII have admin privileges and the saves are in the standard folder, the fact that I installed CIV3 and CAII in the default locations is preventing CAII from updating between turns, even though the program can read the files?
Ok, so I turned on .Net 3.5.1 and that did not solve the problem, then I shut both the game and CAII down and deleted the VirtualStore folder (nothing in there but old saves). Started both back up and now it works like a champ, so if anyone else has that problem, tell them to move their saves out of the VirtualStore folder and then delete it or the Civ sub-folders.

howdy ainwood,If you can give me a screenshot of the start up error, that would be great.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
