whenever i try to download a game off of this site, and other sites, im suposed to save it into the recorded game folder of my aom disc.. i think... well whenever i try to save it at all into aom (D Drive with the aom disc in) it says - You are not allowed to save into this area - and i've done it with every folder/space in the drive... so where am i supposed to save it (if you have to give me directions on the folders, i have windows XP if that makes a difference in the folder names)

You can't put the files on to your CD...
The files should be put in your AoM directory on your hard drive, the default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\savegame.

The problem here is you are trying to save it onto the CD itself. Try moving the file to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\savegame"

The recorded games must have the .rec extension.

those little extensions let you know what kind of file they are
They can't be saved any other way, just put them in there the way you got them

1. Click the link to download a recorded game 2. Open the zip folder and select the "gamename.rec" file 3. Drag this over to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\savegame" 4. Launch AOM and click "recorded games" to load it up
