I don't run PTW, but I think the .sav file should probably go in your Saves folder, not in Scenarios.

Did you unzip the save?

I have a problem that when I unzip the save it goes into a folder called map development

The full path is below - check here.
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Saves\map development

If you use winzip, just uncheck the "use folder names" check box when you extract the file. Then it'll unzip into the directory you specified.

Bald eagle i have the same problemas lk but when i extract the file it doesn't give me the option you are talking about.Also when i copy the save into the saves directory it says that file already exists but when i go into the directory its not there.

Are you exiting Civ before trying to find the file?

If in doubt, just extract it from the zip file to C:\. Verify where it is from explorer.

I've extraxcted it to the scenario directory that didn't work either i've also extrcted it to the save directory

 

[ainwood]

Can you find it in explorer?

Ie - have you extracted it to where you think you've extracted it to? It has probably created a few subdirectories in the directory that you extracted it to.

Vlad and LK:

Hopefully, you're both up'n'runnin' by now, but just in case:

Like ainwood pointed out, this zip creates a subfolder, "map development", while extracted. That's where the save goes.
In PTW (unlike vanilla) that folder can't be accessed if you choose "Load scenario". If you choose "Load game" instead, you'll be able to access any folder on the same drive.

Finally (still assuming you're using winzip): Try switching to the classic interface next time. That'll give you the options I mentioned earlier.

Lk i cut and pasted the save from the scenario folder to the save folder and it worked.
