Hi Gregg,

Since that problem just started happening recently, try a System Restore.

| Running Fable the Lost Chapters on a Windows XP machine with all latest S/W
| updates, the saves take FOREVER (meaning, up to 30 minutes). The AUTOSAVE in
| particular is unbelievably slow. Also, the AUTOSAVE will crash about 1 time
| in 3, and I have to restart the game. When this happens, I get a message
| saying I need to start the game in SAFE mode. Any ideas what is going on
| here? I've been playing the game for about 30 hours, and this has only begun
| happening in the past week. I have put some updates for Windows in, but
| Microsoft wouldn't put out anything that would screw up their own games,
| would they? :-(
| Thanks for any help.
